Dr Loosen Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Kabinett 2022

RICHLY TEXTURED AND BEAUTIFUL - OFF-DRY RIESLING FROM FAMED SITE

 

"What a juicy and animating light Mosel Kabinett with lime zest and mint character, plus good yellow and green apple fruit. Long, super-clean finish. And the total impression is of a wine that’s barely off-dry." - James Suckling

"Erni Loosen plays with acidity so well, and these wines are a perfect example of his knowledge and skill. The wine is gentle yet alive with minerality. Green apples, fresh mint and lemons shine through, along with layers of clementines, peaches, honey’d pear rounded off with some saltiness.

Dr Loosen Bernkasteler Lay (pronounced LIE; an old dialect word for ‘slate’) Riesling Kabinett is grown around the Dr. Loosen estate house, directly along the Mosel, just outside the village of Bernkastel. As the name indicates, the soil is predominantly blue slate, but it is heavier and deeper than the soil in the neighbouring villages of Wehlen or Graach. This site has a gentler slope than the estate’s other vineyards. It produces richly textured, assertive wines." - Cellarhand
