Dr. Loosen Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Kabinett 2023

Country: Germany
Region and Appellation: Mosel

Dr. Loosen Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Kabinett 2023 captures the essence of Mosel's most distinctive Grand Cru vineyard, where rare red volcanic sandstone soil—unique in the region—imparts an unmistakable exotic spice character. This exceptional Germany Riesling comes from century-old, ungrafted vines that produce intensely concentrated fruit on steep slopes with perfect sun exposure.

Terroir-Driven Mastery

The Würzgarten, meaning "spice garden," lives up to its name with wines so distinctive they're instantly recognizable in blind tastings. Crafted by Ernst Loosen, whose family has cultivated these vineyards for over 200 years, this Kabinett showcases traditional Mosel winemaking with gentle pressing, stainless steel fermentation, and a light 8.5% alcohol that enhances drinkability.

Sensory Journey

The pale straw-yellow wine reveals an aromatic bouquet of elderflower, Granny Smith apple, white peach, and exotic passion fruit notes. On the palate, discover stone fruit, citrus zest, and mineral undertones with a delicate spritz that enlivens the senses. Falstaff awarded 92.5 points. The balanced residual sweetness (restsüß style) pairs beautifully with spicy Asian cuisine, seafood, and creamy cheeses.
