 
The Dr. Loosen estate has been in the same family for over 200 years. When Ernst Loosen (pronounced loh-zen) assumed ownership in 1988, he realized that with ungrafted vines averaging 60 years old in some of Germany’s best-rated vineyards, he had the raw materials to create stunningly intense, world-class wines.
To achieve this, Ernst dramatically reduced his crop size and stopped all chemical fertilization, preferring only moderate use of organic fertilizers. And, most importantly, he turned to gentler cellar practices that allow the wine to develop its full potential with a minimum of handling and technological meddling.

Germany’s Mosel Valley is the birthplace
of some of the world’s finest Rieslings.
The steep, breathtakingly beautiful
vineyards have been the
defining feature of the Middel Mosel’s
landscape, culture and heritage for more
than 2,000 years. But the planned
construction of an enormous bridge
across this valley and through its
vineyards may change all that forever.
