The available vintage may differ from the one shown in the image.Blue slate is the most typical type of slate in the Middle Mosel. It provides vital nutrients to the vines and gives the wines a mineral edge that enhances the naturally high acidity of Riesling. The vineyards are characterised by incredibly steep slopes, mineral richness and excellent drainage. This combination results in zippy, mineral-drenched wines that are fruity, crisp and very refreshing. Winemaker Ernst Loosen is also one of Germany's most respected wine personalities.
