Dr. Loosen Weingut Zacharias Bergweiler-Prüm Erben Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese 2018 3 Pack

Dr Loosen, exceptional Rieslings from century-old vines Domaine Dr. Loosen has been a family estate for over two centuries. Thanks to its century-old vines and prestigious plots, it produces exceptional Rieslings. Rated five stars by Falstaff, Domaine Dr. Loosen owes its renown to Ernst Loosen, who took over the estate in 1998 and restored the prestige of Moselle Rieslings by highlighting the unique characteristics of each terroir. Weingut Zach. Bergweiler-Prüm Erben is an emblematic project by Ernst, in homage to his great-grandfather Zacharias Bergweiler, a well-known winemaker of the 20th century. The estate, located in Wehlen, follows traditional, low-intervention practices. Dr. Loosen: Wehlener Sonnenuhr ''Auslese'' 2018 The blue slate soil of Wehlen's “sundial” vineyard produces Rieslings of unique elegance and finesse. Auslese, which means “selected at harvest”, is made from very ripe grapes, around 50% of which are affected by noble rot (botrytis) . The resulting wine is dense, with intense aromas and a rich mouthfeel, yet retains the fine structure that characterizes this great terroir. The grapes were pressed in a restored 1910 basket press, then fermented naturally and aged for 24 months in a traditional 1,000-liter foudre. The 2018 Moselle harvest, the earliest on record, benefited from equally early budburst and flowering. Despite the summer drought, some rain and the deep-rooted old vines ensured good yields, healthy grapes and excellent quality.
