2021 Dr. Loosen "Blue Slate" Riesling Kabinett Mosel

The 2021 Blue Slate Riesling Kabinett AP #1 from Weingut Dr. Loosen is a pretty example of its Prädikat level. The wine carries forty grams of residual sugar this year, to balance off its 8.5 grams of acidity and is eight percent octane. The bouquet here is refined and complex, wafting from the glass in a mix of pear, white cherry, apple blossoms, a touch of wild yeast, a lovely base of slate and a topnote of bee pollen. On the palate the wine is zesty, medium-full and filigreed, with excellent mineral drive and focus, bouncy acids and a long, youthfully complex and seamlessly balanced finish.
