Dr. Loosen Red Slate Mosel Dry Riesling 2020 750mL

This wine is produced with fruit exclusively from estate vineyards with red slate soil in the villages of Ürzig, Erden, Lösnich and Kinheim. The vineyards are farmed specifically for producing dry wine. The wine is fermented with native yeasts in 3,000-liter, neutral oak casks. The extended lees contact allows the wine to develop a naturally harmonious balance and greater complexity.
