Dr. Loosen Dr. L Riesling Mosel 750ml

Dr. L is the entry-level Riesling from Dr. Loosen, the Loosen family estate at St. Johannishof in Bernkastel, in the Middle Mosel. Ernst F. Loosen has run the estate since 1988, and it has been a member of the VDP since 1993.

It's 100% Riesling from slate-soil vineyards in the Mosel valley. Reviews of past vintages describe fermentation and aging entirely in stainless steel, and the bottle is sealed with a screw cap. The style is off-dry, and it's just 8.5% alcohol.

The producer calls it a crisp, fruity and refreshing Riesling from mineral-rich slate soil. The New Zealand importer describes the 2024 with honey, apricot and stone fruit, a juicy palate, a touch of spritz and lively acidity.

Against Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling, Dr. L is a low-alcohol Mosel Riesling grown on slate; for a German Riesling at 8.5%, choose Dr. L.

Serve it well chilled. The producer suggests it as an aperitif or with mildly spicy stir-fries and Indian curries, and it also works with sushi, pork schnitzel or a plate of soft cheeses.
