VDP.GROSSE LAGE⎥GG

VDP.GROSSE LAGE designates Germany’s most prestigious vineyards. Here, the finest wines develop, distinguished by complex flavors, expressive site character, and exceptional ageing potential. The sites are defined by the VDP regional associations and are precisely parcelled.

Grapes are selectively hand-harvested, and yields are strictly limited to a maximum of 50 hl per hectare.

At our estate, we produce nine VDP.GROSSES GEWÄCHS wines from VDP.GROSSE LAGE vineyards. These are dry Rieslings, hand-picked and hand-selected, spontaneously fermented in used oak casks, and aged on the full lees in the same casks for at least one year before release.

This careful process gives the wines not only captivating aromas but also outstanding structure and natural harmony, allowing them to age gracefully over many years.

VDP.Classification

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.
