Additional Information: The Dr. Loosen estate has been in the family for over 200 years and possesses some of Germany's most respected and spectacular vineyards containing  un-grafted vines up to 140 years old on spectacularly steep, south facing slopes in the Mosel valley. Since taking over, Erni Loosen has focused on the selection of only healthy grapes, spontaneous fermentation, extended maturation of the wines in large wooden casks and an emphasis on letting his dry wines rest the full lees.  

Bottle fermented in the traditional style with the second fermentation in bottle, then resting on the lees for 15 months which is then filtered via the transfer method where sediment is removed in tank under pressure rather than disgorgement techniques used in places such as Champagne. Dosage is added at re-bottling
