Tasting profile
Structure: light-bodied, low tannin, high acidity
Riesling from Dr. Loosen's holdings in the Graacher Himmelreich, a large blue-slate slope in the Middle Mosel. The style is light and racy, with green apple, apricot and citrus over a stony, slatey finish; Loosen bottles it mostly in the classic fruity Prädikat styles, where gentle sweetness meets high acidity. It drinks well young and develops honeyed depth over a decade or more.
Serving: Serve at 8–10 °C.
