Goedhuis, March 2021
The Urziger spice garden (wurzgarten) is unique in the middle mosel for its red soils rather than slate. These 120 year old vines produce a stunningly floral wine. Lemon colour, it is so floral on the nose with hints of white peach, guava and verbena. A more gracious style than the strict and steely Wehlener. This is a wine which coats the mouth. Beautifully rewarding there is a touch of lychees and lemon sherbet, beautifully vibrant and alive but so graceful and fine and the hint of honeysuckle on the finish gives a sensation of being less firm in its dryness and a feeling of wonderful harmony.

Worldly, dynamic and charismatic, Ernst Loosen is an undeniable character. He has been at the helm of his 200-year-old family domaine since 1988. With his initiative and savoir faire, over the years he has helped re-establish the Mosel on a wider scale as one of the most exciting wine growing areas in the world. Its terroir is exceptional, composed primarily of grey-blue and red slate that climb up to tremendously steep cliffs - the steepest in the world to be exact. Due to the Middle Mosel's lack of actual soil and incredibly good drainage, most of the vines are not grafted onto American rootstocks as phylloxera cannot survive. As a result, the vines grow exceptionally slowly creating wines that tend to be wonderfully pure, tender and focused. Ernst's holdings are in the some of the most reputable vineyards.Read less
