This selection from the world-renowned Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard exemplifies the Mosel's great sweet wine tradition. The nose reveals intense aromas of ripe peach, apricot, and mirabelle plum, complemented by delicate notes of honey, blossoms, and citrus. On the palate, the wine is juicy and concentrated, with a harmoniously integrated sweetness perfectly balanced by a lively, precise acidity. The characteristic slate minerality lends the wine depth, elegance, and a long, clean finish. An expressive Riesling with excellent aging potential.

The vineyard

Wehlen Sonnenuhr

Terroir: Blue slate

This very steep vineyard produces one of the most elegant and delicately fragrant white wines in the world. The stony, shallow, blue slate soil imparts a delicate, fresh acidity and a unique elegance to the wine. The wines of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard are the most charming of our estate when young, captivating with aromas of white peach and green apple.

In Wehlen there is almost no topsoil or humus, but almost exclusively broken and weathered shards of the pure blue slate of the Moselle Valley. This purity is reflected in the wines of this site.

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.

Panoramaausblick von der Mosel und von der historischen Villa des Weinguts Doktor Loosen.

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).
