2019 Dr. Loosen Riesling Dry Red Slate

2019 Dr. Loosen Riesling Dry Red Slate This dry Riesling is produced with fruit from estate-owned vineyards in the red slate soils found in the contiguous villages of Urzig Erden Losnich and Kinheim. Following the traditional methods of Ernst Loosen’s great-grandfather Peter Loosen this wine is fermented in 3000-liter neutral oak casks and kept on the full lees for 12 months. The extended lees contact stabilizes the wine naturally and gives it time to develop a harmonious balance._x000D_

Notes of grapefruit tangerine a hint of apricot geranium anise and herbs. The wine is rather ample and juicy on the almost sweet-tasting palate. Yet the finish has more presence zest and spices and tastes dry.
