Graacher Himmelreich
The southwest-facing steep slope, located next to the more famous Wehlener Sonnenuhr, features particularly deep blue slate soils, combining the power of Bernkastel with the elegance of Wehlen. These wines always need some time to reveal their true greatness.
The dark, multi-colored slate in Bernkastel and Graach produces wines with pronounced aromas of lemon, herbs, and stone fruits, complemented by a crisp, mineral-driven structure.

In winemaking, old practices that were practiced on the Moselle 100 years ago and were then described as "purely natural" have been revived.
However, Telmo encouraged Erni to do things differently: The wine was fermented on the skins in the tradition of natural/orange wines. After fermentation, it remained on the skins for maceration for several months and was then gently pressed in a basket press before being transferred with the lees into a traditional oak barrel, in which one of Telmo's best Rioja wines had already been produced.
The wine remained in the barrel on the lees for two years, only topped up, without any bâtonnage.
After bottling, the wine matured for another two years in the bottle before being released to the market.
This wine combines the “memory” of Spain and the tradition of Germany.

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.
