The 2024 Dr. Loosen Dry Riesling is a vibrant Mosel Riesling from the renowned Dr. Loosen family, crafted to showcase the purity and freshness of Germany’s famous slate-soil vineyards. Sourced from steep slopes along the Mosel River, this wine delivers a crisp, dry expression of Riesling that balances bright fruit with distinctive mineral character. Aromas of lemon, lime and white peach are complemented by delicate floral notes and hints of wet slate.
On the palate, it is light-bodied and energetic, with lively natural acidity driving flavours of citrus, green apple and stone fruit. Notes of grapefruit, lemon peel and mineral freshness add complexity, while the dry finish remains clean, focused and refreshing. The cool Mosel climate and slate-rich soils contribute precision and tension, giving the wine impressive balance and food-friendly appeal.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic Riesling for customers who enjoy crisp, dry white wines with freshness and mineral detail. Its bright acidity and citrus-driven profile make it an excellent match for freshly shucked oysters, grilled prawns, sashimi, pork dishes and lightly spiced Asian cuisine. Best enjoyed well chilled while youthful and vibrant over the next 3–5 years, though it will reward short-term cellaring with added complexity.
