Â'Ernie Loosen has single-handedly put German wine on the world stage and in the 21st century. He has done it by a mixture of irreverence, tireless traveling and an uncompromising quest for quality.Â' Jancis Robinson, Decanter April 2005
Ernie Loosen produces only Riesling from traditional, slate-soil vineyards in the Mosel Valley. A full range of Prädikat wines is made from six grand cru single-vineyard sites. The vineyards of Dr. Loosen owe their excellent quality to three major factors: the exceptional regional climate of the Middle Mosel area, the mineral-rich slate and volcanic soils, and the incredible age of the estateÂ's ungrafted Riesling vines. These are world class wines of exceptional quality.
