Dr Loosen L Riesling, Mosel 2023

The epitomy of the elegant, floral style of classic Mosel from one of the best known and most reliable producers of the region. The touch of sweetness may be a surprise to those used to dry whites, but it all marries together perfectly, light, fruity and gentle with everything in wonderful balance.

Perfect with Asian cuisine, especially Vietnamese recipes.

Dr Loosen is one of the big names in German wine - and for good reason. Based in the Mosel Valley, this family-run estate has been making Riesling for over 200 years, and under Ernst Loosen's watch since the late ’80s, things have only got better. The steep, slate-covered slopes of their vineyards produce seriously classy fruit, and the wines are full of that trademark Mosel elegance and mineral bite. Tradition's still a big part of what they do, but there's plenty of forward thinking too - and the focus on quality and sustainability runs right through the range.
