Blazing red and insanely steep, the Ürziger Würzgarten vineyard fills the picturesque amphitheater formed by this dramatic bend in the river. Although it's directly adjacent to the vineyards of Erden, it produces a completely different kind of wine, with exotic, spicy aromas and a mesmerizing earthiness. No other vineyard on the Mosel produces wines so bursting with tropical fruit flavors. The estate's oldest vines are found here.

Three Senses
Urziger Wurzgarten riesling is bright straw yellow. The nose bursts with intense hints of exotic fruits such as papaya, mango and pineapple, mixed with peach, gooseberry and ripe apricot. There is no shortage of mineral and spicy aromas that also return in the mouth in the creamy texture. Fresh, mineral and persistent, it demonstrates depth and breadth even in the virtually endless finish. Already excellent to taste today, it has immense evolutionary potentialIt pairs perfectly with roasted meats or spicy dishes, but can also surprise when paired with very mature cheeses

Dr. Loosen

Dr. Loosen

Dr.Loosen has been owned by the family for more than 200 years. When Ernst Loosen took control  of it in 1988, he realized that with free standing vines with an average age of 60 years  in the most vineyards in central Moselle, he had the raw material to create stunningly intense
and world-class wines. To do this, Ernst drastically reduced the harvest and decided to use only a  moderate amount of organic fertilizer. All six of the major vineyards of the Dr.Loosen company were classified as "Grand Cru" in the Prussian classification dated 1868. It was before the  Burgundy classification! On steep slopes and with south exposure of the Moselle, the proximity of the river creates an ideal microclimate for Riesling. vines have an ideal exposure  to the sun to achieve perfect maturation. Fresh nights, even in the summer, retain the characteristic acidity of the grape, which is essential for a clean and alive Riesling. The river  reflects the sun's rays and retains the heat helping the grapes ripe and protecting the vines from the frosts. The rocky slate soil and the numerous emerging rocks keep the heat
of the day and ensure full maturation. A thin surface layer forces the vines to dig deep into the soil  to find nutrients, this vines thus produce intense minerals and vibrant wines.  Dr.Loosen's vines are now 60 years old and are still on their free foot. Old vineyards naturally produce smaller crops with greater concentration and greater complexity.
