Dr Loosen "L" Fruity Riesling 2023

Dr Loosen "L" Riesling Qba, Mosel, Germany, 2023   

Grape: 100% Riesling, selective hand picked, unoaked, 45g/L residual sugar (medium sweet).

This medium dry Riesling from the famous Loosen estate embodies the elegant and racy style of classic Mosel Riesling. It is really juicy with a ton of apple and pear characteristics. A very crisp finish. Yes, there is also has some sweetness in there, but the balance is spot-on.

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"An excellent entry-level off-dry Riesling that will attract many fans. It is produced by Ernst Loosen, a winemaker born into a German family with a long winemaking tradition. His estate, located on the banks of the Moselle River, belonged to his family for over 200 years. This cuvée perfectly embodies the classic, elegant, and distinguished style of Rieslings from the Moselle region. Its low alcohol level makes it an easy-drinking wine, and its mineral character is quite typical of German Rieslings. As an off-dry wine, its residual sugar is clearly noticeable, yet very pleasant and well-balanced. Aromas of green apples, pears, lemons, melons, and flint are revealed. The palate is sparkling on the attack, supported by a lively, refreshing acidity.

89/100 points, BACCHUS MAGAZINE (Canada)
