Our vineyards
Erdener Treppchen
This vineyard lies directly adjacent to the eastern side of the Prälat and is so steep that stone steps were built centuries ago to allow workers better access to the vines. While wines from the Wehlener Sonnenuhr resemble a graceful “ballerina,” those from the Treppchen are like muscular, free-style climbers. The iron-rich red slate soils produce wines that are rich, vibrant, and complex, with an intensely mineral finish.
Volcanic activity and the formation of the meandering Mosel valley created this striking red slate soil in Erden long ago.

In its late harvest, the Treppchen reveals its full strength: a play of concentrated fruit, delicate sweetness, and captivating, vibrant acidity. Ripe aromas of peach, apricot, red apple peel, and a touch of citrus zest combine with a mineral depth typical of the red slate soil. The texture remains lean and elegant – never heavy, always graceful and refined.

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.
