Wine & Spirits
Reviewed February 2020Blended from a range of Ernst Loosen’s blue-slate vineyards in Bernkastel, Graach and Wehlen, this is lean and lithe, a long-limbed wine with quiet intensity. It tastes mostly of spice and stone, with a little of the peach flesh close to the pit; it feels cool and crystalline, like the air at the top of the chairlift on a clear winter day.

Zaps of lemon-lime acidity and
spicy, smoky earth tones elevate this bright citrusy
Riesling. Off dry in style, it offers tart, tangy lemon
and white-grapefruit flavors edged by a honeyed
sweetness. The finish is brisk and invigorating. (AI)

Spritzy palate, crisp citrus sherbet fruit, not exactly honeyed, but the finish has generous ripeness thanks to the residual sugar, which softens the acidity and ties in nicely to the lemon fruit. Freshly squeezed Riesling! Moderate length and no development, but that serves to emphasise the fruit power. (RH)
