Our vineyards
Bernkasteller Johannisbrünnchen
The Johannisbrünnchen is one of Bernkastel’s classic Devonian slate sites. Situated above the Bernkasteller Lay and the estate, this vineyard gave our winery its historic name, St. Johannishof. Wines from the Johannisbrünnchen display the classic slate character: mineral-driven, fruit-forward, elegant Rieslings.
The Devonian slate in the Mosel valley exhibits a wide range of colors, depending on its specific mineral composition. These diverse soils, combined with the unique climatic conditions, give the wines their distinctive aromas.

VDP.Classification
Since 1993, Dr. Loosen Winery has been a member of the VDP (Association of German Prädikat Wine Estates).
Through the VDP classification, the estate commits to the highest quality standards, placing origin and terroir at the center of its winemaking philosophy.
Dr. Loosen Estate
Pioneer of the rediscovered German Riesling culture
In family ownership for over 200 years, the estate has been led by Ernst F. Loosen since 1988. In his view, great wines are the perfect expression of soil, climate, and grape variety.
With the heritage of his ancestors – own-rooted, old vines in historic Grosse Lagen of the Central Mosel – he found exactly the material needed to craft distinctive, complex wines of world-class caliber. Today, Dr. Loosen is internationally recognized as the flagship of a rediscovered German Riesling culture.
Since 1993, the winery has been a member of the VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter).

OUR VINEYARDS
In the 1868 vineyard map of the Trier administrative district, created as a basis for tax assessment for Mosel estates, nine of our vineyards were designated as Grosse Lagen.
This classification is comparable to the Grand Cru system of Burgundy and was updated in 1995 by Stuart Pigott and Hugh Johnson in their German Wine Atlas. Today, we deliberately draw on this historically proven, cultural classification.
Since 1988, we have bottled exclusively Rieslings from these classified Grosse Lagen as single-vineyard wines, while all other wines are released by us as Gutsriesling.
