Contains sulfites

The off-dry Graacher Himmelreich Tradition combines the complexity of dry Rieslings with the characteristic, invigorating interplay of sweetness and acidity of the Middle Moselle. For this wine, 10% destemmed grapes are co-fermented, followed by a 24-month aging period in large wooden barrels on the lees. This special wine is a reminiscence of the time before the 1971 amendment to the wine law, when, among other things, residual sugar levels were strictly regulated and limited depending on the wine type.

The vineyard

Graach Himmelreich

Terroir: Devonian slate

The southwest-facing steep slope next to the more famous Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard has a particularly deep blue slate soil that combines Bernkastel's strength with Wehlen's elegance. These wines always need some time to reveal their true greatness.

The dark, multicolored slate in Bernkastel and Graach produces wines with a pronounced aroma of lemon, herbs and stone fruits, as well as a crisp mineral structure.

VDP.GROSSE LAGE

CLASSIC, OFF-DRY RIESLINGS FROM CLASSIFIED GRAND CRU SITES OF THE MOSEL.

From Kabinett to Trockenbeerenauslese, we hand-select the grapes for these delicate, off-dry Prädikat wines, depending on the conditions each vintage provides.

The Mosel, with its cool nights and misty mornings, offers ideal conditions for noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), which shapes the unmistakable character of the Auslesen, Beerenauslesen, and Trockenbeerenauslesen.

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).
