Dr. Loosen Riesling Dry Blue Slate 2025

Dr. Loosen Riesling Dry Blue Slate 2025 is a dry, aromatic Mosel Riesling that combines bright fruit with the region’s distinctive slate-born minerality. Made from Riesling grown around Bernkastel, it reflects a winemaking tradition that the Loosen family has maintained in the Mosel for more than two centuries.

Tasting Notes
Bright and clear with a golden hue, it opens with floral aromas and notes of peach. The palate is fresh and mineral, with a soft entry and a delicate finish. The producer describes this Riesling as having notable ageing potential, with time in bottle bringing added complexity. No specific drinking window is provided.

Production
The grapes come from vineyards near St. Johannishof in Bernkastel, where well-drained blue Devonian slate soils contribute to the wine’s mineral character. They are hand-harvested and carefully selected, then fermented at controlled temperatures in stainless-steel tanks to preserve aromatic freshness. Dr. Loosen also highlights sustainable vineyard practices and controlled yields.

Food & Serving
Enjoy as an aperitif or serve alongside fish, lighter meats and Asian dishes. Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C. As a fresh young Riesling, it can be enjoyed without decanting; open it shortly before serving to let its aromas emerge.

Producer
The Loosen family has cultivated vineyards in the Mosel for more than 200 years. Since Ernst Loosen took the helm in 1988, the estate has focused on expressing the region’s distinctive vineyard character, including the blue slate soils associated with this wine. Dr. Loosen is a longstanding Mosel producer, and this bottling is presented as an expression of the region’s QbA Mosel-Saar-Ruwer tradition.
