Dr. Loosen Auslese Bergweiler Prüm Erben Wehlen 2019 3 Pack

Weingut Zach. Bergweiler-Prüm Erben is Mosel winemaker Ernst Loosen’s exploration of the historical winemaking traditions of his family. This singular project pays tribute to Ernst’s maternal great-grandfather, who was a major Mosel wine producer at the turn of the 20th century. Born in 1861, Zacharias Bergweiler built a substantial wine estate in the village of Wehlen and subsequently married into the other highly successful wine family of the village: the Prüm family. The wines are grown and produced according to the extremely patient and low-intervention practices used in the time of Zacharias, when German Rieslings enjoyed their greatest reputation around the world. The 2019 vintage: The 2019 Mosel Riesling vintage faced another year of extreme weather, marked especially by a severe August heat wave and prolonged drought conditions. Despite the challenges, Riesling’s resilience shone through, producing a lower-yielding but fully ripe crop with vibrant aromatics and pronounced acidity. Scattered rains and cooler September temperatures helped the fruit ripen well, although late-September rains caused botrytis, requiring fast, selective harvesting. In the cellar, the wines show ripe density similar to 2018, but with brighter acidity for better structure. The result is a vintage with exuberant fruit, excellent balance, and strong aging potential.
