Eiswein ("ice wine") is another of the rare and wonderful gifts that the nature of the Moselle gives. At home Loosen some plots of vines are kept aside, hoping for a deep enough freezing (minimum -8 ° C or 17 ° F) to keep the grapes frozen and not unripe. These were collected in the early hours of the morning and pressed while still frozen, to slowly squeeze a few drops of precious nectar before the ice melts.
The result is a meditation wine that is extraordinarily different from the more rounded and honeyed style of wines concentrated by botrytis.
Riesling Eiswein Dr. Loosen comes from the exceptional parcels of Erden and Ürzi

Three Senses

Eiswein is a true grape nectar that not only shows sweetness, but also combines wonderful acidity. Its golden yellow color, precludes a nose of sweet aromas such as honey , peach, apricot and candied fruits. Persuasive on the palate, it envelops the mouth in a creamy sphere, refreshed and lightened by its important acidity. Sublime pleasant sensation capable of relaxing all the senses.

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.
