The Loosen family has been growing Riesling and producing wine in the Mosel valley for over 200 years. The current owner, Ernst “Erni” Loosen, assumed ownership in 1988, embarking on a quest to greatly improve the quality and international reputation of the estate, the Mosel region, and Riesling in general. Today, Erni is one of the most iconic and influential winemakers in the world. A full range of Riesling styles is produced, following the traditions of both family lines: dry wines from the paternal Loosen side, and Pradikat wines inspired by the maternal branch (the Prüm family). Steep slopes of the Middle Moselle.

Tasting Notes |
Fruit and floral in a richly textured Riesling Sekt. Its pétillance spreads lushly. Loads of ripe nectarine and yellow plum, with lemony acidity to keep the palate bright. It’s a riper style. |
