DR. LOOSEN ÜRZIGER WÜRZGARTEN RIESLING AUSLESE 2007 DR. LOOSEN ÜRZIGER WÜRZGARTEN RIESLING AUSLESE 2007

This wine shows the expressive power of old, un-grafted vines. Naturally low yields and ultra-deep roots produce rich, concentrated wines that reflect the red soil brilliantly. Made from selected bunches of very ripe, late-picked grapes, Auslese ("selected late picking") packs the maximum amount of vineyard character into the bottle. This wine is the "regular" Auslese (white capsule) and is made without botrytis affected grapes.


VINEYARD
This vineyard - The Spice Garden of Ürzig is comprised of weathered red volcanic and slate soil of the make it unique on the Mosel. The Ürziger Würzgarten (pronounced ERTS-iger VERTS-garten) vineyard is an insanely steep site that makes wines with an exotic, spicy aroma and a mesmerizing earthiness. There is no other vineyard in the Mosel valley that produces wines so bursting with tropical fruit flavours.

The Dr. Loosen estate's oldest vines (up to 120 years old) are found here.

GRAPE VARIETIES
100% Riesling

VINIFICATION
Loosen wines are all treated to minimal handling to maximise the ability of the varied vineyards to shine through in the wines.

The grapes are whole cluster pressed before undergoing a long, slow and cold fermentation with natural yeasts. All the wines are fermented in casks and no filtration or de-acidification takes place.

TASTING NOTE
The wine is a very pale, but bright colour and has a classically perfumed nose of white peach, white flowers and then the typical Ürziger Würzgarten spice hits you.

The palate is round and full with ripe, rich fruit dominating , sweet without any cloying due to the well integrated and concentrated acidty. The finish is very long.
