Dr Loosen Dry 2024 originates from the steep vineyards of the Mosel (Germany), with a southern exposure and soils composed of Devonian slate, ideal for optimal drainage and sunlight reflection. In a cool climate, the vines—over 70 years old—ripen slowly, preserving vibrant acidity and primary aromas. They are cultivated under sustainable practices, without herbicides or pesticides, promoting a pure expression of the terroir. The use of 100% riesling grapes and ecological techniques ensures a clean minerality and unmistakable freshness.
The harvest, manual and selective, is transported in small baskets to keep the grapes intact. After a gentle skin maceration, the must ferments at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. Without oak or malolactic fermentation, the wine retains its aromatic intensity and natural acidity. Once fermentation is complete, it is naturally clarified and bottled young, preserving the fresh and crisp essence of the Mosel.
Weingut Dr Loosen, with over 200 years of history in the Mosel, has been led by Ernst “Erni” Loosen since 1988, who modernized winemaking and positioned the brand as a global ambassador of dry riesling. Together with his brother Thomas, they developed the Loosen Bros. project, which includes this accessible and gourmet expression of the terroir. Renowned for its quality (Erni was named “Winemaker of the Year” by Decanter in 2005), the winery combines tradition, climate commitment, and excellence.
Dr Loosen Dry 2024 pairs perfectly with steamed or grilled white fish, seafood, ceviches, sushi, and fresh salads. It also enhances mild Asian dishes, vegetable creams, and fresh cheeses such as goat cheese.

Creators' opinion
Dr Loosen Dry is a pale yellow wine with green reflections. On the nose, it reveals green apple, white peach, white flowers, and a pronounced mineral sensation. On the palate, it is fresh, dry, with vibrant acidity, stone fruit flavors, and a clean, persistent finish with a pleasant stony touch.
