Dr. Loosen Erdener Treppchen Riesling Kabinett
For over 200 years, the Dr. Loosen estate has been one of the great names of the Mosel Valley. Under the direction of Ernst Loosen since 1988, the winery has become internationally renowned for producing world-class Rieslings that balance ripeness, finesse, and extraordinary minerality. The estate’s holdings include some of the Mosel’s most celebrated vineyards, many planted with ungrafted vines that are well over a century old. Erdener Treppchen (“little staircase of Erden”) is one of Dr. Loosen’s prized steep-slope vineyards, famous for its red slate soils that impart both power and spicy minerality to the wines.
