The 2018 Dr Loosen Riesling Beerenauslese Half Bottle (375ml) is an exquisite German dessert wine from the Mosel region, produced by the renowned Weingut Dr. Loosen. Crafted from carefully selected, exceptionally ripe Riesling grapes, Beerenauslese is celebrated for its concentrated sweetness, vibrant acidity and remarkable ageing potential. Its anticipated aromas reveal ripe apricot, dried peach, candied orange peel and honey, complemented by delicate notes of orange blossom, saffron and subtle slate-like minerality.
On the palate, it is expected to be richly sweet and luscious, with a silky texture balanced by Riesling's naturally refreshing acidity. Flavours of apricot preserve, peach nectar, orange marmalade and honey unfold alongside hints of candied lemon, ginger and delicate floral spice. Its concentrated fruit sweetness is lifted by lively citrus freshness, creating a beautifully balanced dessert wine with depth and elegance. The finish is exceptionally long, leaving lingering impressions of dried stone fruit, honey and citrus zest.
