Our rum pot combines the hallmarks of Dr. Loosen – a commitment to quality, authenticity, and a sense of tradition – with an incredibly rich and sensual aroma. The long maturation period in its own juice and rum makes it a true highlight for special moments of enjoyment.
The second movement, Andante (gentle, without haste), is aged longer in our cellar after bottling and released five years after the harvest. Produced with the same patience and restraint, this bottling was chosen to emphasize elegance and refinement – a style reflected in Beethoven's own performance instruction for this movement: “Piano e Dolce” (gentle and sweet).
At the foot of Ürzig's world-famous steep slopes lies the Ürzig Spice Garden, a botanical gem where herbs, spices, and rare cultivated plants have thrived for centuries. From this impressive diversity come some of the eleven carefully selected botanicals that define the character of Würzgarten Vermouth. The plants and fruits are harvested throughout the year at their optimal ripeness and either extracted fresh or carefully dried to preserve their natural aromas.
By using regional botanicals, the project not only supports the preservation of this unique garden, but also connects to the historical link between viticulture, herbalism and regional culinary culture.
The vermouth is aged in traditional Moselle oak casks without any added sugar – a rarity in modern vermouth production. This ensures a clear, precise, and elegant style, with natural sweetness derived solely from the wine. The result is a vermouth that is simultaneously complex, subtly spicy, and refreshingly light.
The package includes the following bottles (0.75l):
1 x 2012 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett “Tradition”
1 x 1993 Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Spätlese “Tradition”

A STORY OF TWO FAMILIES
Our Dr. Loosen winery unites two distinct winemaking traditions – from both sides of my family. My mother's family favored a delicate, light Mosel Riesling with a touch of residual sweetness – a signature style of my grandfather, Dr. Adams, who married into my mother's winery, Dr. Zach Bergweiler-Prüm-Erben. Later, I discovered another fascinating truth: My paternal great-grandfather, Peter Loosen from Ürzig, was an uncompromising advocate of dry wines. For him, any sweetness in Riesling was a flaw, and he simply sold any barrels that didn't dry completely as bulk wine. Both paths have their own unique appeal – and we have decided to continue both with respect and passion.
HOW WE REDISCOVER THE TRADITION OF OFF-DRY AND SWEET RIESLINGS AS PRODUCED BY MY GRANDFATHER.
After countless tastings of Rieslings from the 1940s, 50s, and 60s, I became curious about how these Prädikat wines of our ancestors were produced – before the German wine law of 1971 changed so much. This new law shifted the focus to must weight, instead of the single vineyard site and the recognizability of the Prädikat classification through tasting. Until 1971, there were clear rules for residual sugar in Prädikat wines like Kabinett and Spätlese: the potential alcohol content determined how much residual sugar a natural wine or Spätlese could have. Wines with, for example, 76° Oechsle were allowed to contain approximately 25–30 g/l of residual sugar – no more. The 1971 law abolished these limits, and suddenly many wines became increasingly opulent and sweet. To revive the original style with its subtle residual sweetness – as my grandfather used to say – we launched our "Tradition" project. Sporadically since 1993, but regularly since 2012, we produce one Kabinett, one Spätlese, and one Auslese each vintage – using our grandfather's methods: spontaneously fermented in the barrel, aged for two years in large wooden casks on the lees, and then matured for another ten years in the bottle after bottling before release. Patience is our most important ally here.
The entry-level Appassionata Pinot Noir takes its name from the first movement of the piano sonata – Allegro – reflecting the musical tempo of a brisk walk. This cuvée is a selection of barrels exhibiting early vibrancy and expressiveness, making it enjoyable as a young wine but also suitable for aging. It is bottled after 18 to 20 months in the barrel and released three years after the harvest. The Allegro Pinot Noir beautifully displays the beginnings of bottle aging and will age elegantly for many years.
The Réserve package stands for depth, power, and length. Dry and precise in the glass.
Dr. Loosen has had reserves since 2011 – currently the 2018 and 2019 vintages are available.
What's included in the package:
- 2019 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Im Laychen GG RÉSERVE Riesling dry
- 2019 Urziger Würzgarten Unterst Pichter GG RÉSERVE Riesling dry
- 2019 Erdener Prälat GG RÉSERVE Riesling dry
The three Grand Cru vineyards bring together three different soil types: blue slate, volcanic rock and red slate, along with own-rooted vines.
Fermentation takes place spontaneously in the old cask, then 24 months on full lees in the barrel (without racking) plus 24 months of bottle maturation.
It tastes concentrated and clear: more structure, more tension, more lingering effect.
Exclusive and rare in the Dr. Loosen wooden box.

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.
