Family-owned for over 200 years, the winery has been managed since 1988 by Ernst F. Loosen . Great wines, he believes, are the perfect expression of the soil, climate and grape variety. With the heritage of his ancestors - old vines, true to their roots, in historical Grand Cru sites of the Middle Mosel - he has found exactly the material he needs to produce independent, complex wines of world class. Today, Dr. Loosen is internationally regarded as the poster child for a rediscovered German Riesling culture. Since 1993, the winery has been a member of the VDP (Association of German Prädikat Wine Estates).
