Bernkasteller Lay
The Bernkasteler Lay ("Lay" is an old term for "slate") is located at the outskirts of Bernkastel on the Mosel riverbank. The name refers to the soil, composed of deep, weathered blue slate. This site has a slightly gentler slope than the other vineyards of the estate, producing powerful, fruit-forward Rieslings, often with notes of green apple and cassis.
The Devonian slate in the Mosel valley exhibits a wide range of colors, depending on its specific mineral composition. These diverse soil characteristics, combined with the unique climatic conditions, give the wine its distinctive aromas.

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.
