Goedhuis, August 2022
From one of the three sonnenuhr (sundial) vineyards in the Mosel. This plot in the village of Wehlen is named after the huge, centuries old sundial that sits on the sunniest part of the slope. It has long been considered one of the best sites for Riesling. This 2021 is finely etched with bright citrus, stone fruit and green apple notes. Tight-rope tension, the vibrant acidity keeps this nimble and fresh and is the perfect foil to the exquisite concentration of round fruit and slatey minerals. Loosen calls this vineyard ‘the ballerina,’ such is its graceful elegance.

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
