The 2018 Dr. Loosen Erdener Treppchen GG Riesling is a classic Mosel Riesling from one of Germany’s most celebrated vineyard sites. Grown on the steep red slate slopes of the Erdener Treppchen vineyard, this wine reflects the distinctive mineral character and vibrant acidity that have made the Mosel region world-famous. The warm 2018 vintage delivered excellent ripeness while preserving freshness, resulting in a Riesling of remarkable balance and site expression.
On the palate, it is beautifully layered and expressive, offering aromas and flavours of yellow peach, golden apple, nectarine and citrus zest alongside the smoky slate minerality that defines the vineyard. The natural sweetness is perfectly balanced by bright acidity, creating a wine that feels energetic rather than rich. Notes of lime, stone fruit and subtle spice carry through to a long, precise finish with impressive depth and persistence.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Riesling for customers who appreciate wines with both freshness and complexity. Its vibrant acidity and mineral structure make it a superb match for fresh seafood, pork dishes, spicy Asian cuisine, soft cheeses and lightly spiced poultry dishes. Drinking beautifully now, it also has the balance and concentration to develop further bottle complexity over the next 10–15 years, rewarding patient cellaring.
