Prälat

2008 Mosel Riesling

Dr. Loosen Prälat 2008 is a remarkable Riesling that beautifully showcases the elegance and finesse of the Mosel region. This white wine exhibits a medium body that presents a lovely balance, complemented by vibrant acidity that brings a refreshing quality to each sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing notes of ripe peach, juicy apricot, and zesty citrus, which are intertwined with hints of floral and mineral undertones that the Mosel is renowned for. The dryness level is off-dry, providing just the right touch of sweetness that enhances the wine's complexity without overwhelming the palate. With its well-structured profile and playful energy, this wine is truly a delightful expression of terroir in a vintage that is sure to impress.

Region:


Mosel

When it comes to quality Riesling, few places can rival Germany's Mosel region. This sheer-sided valley in Germany parallels the river of the same name and is home to some of the world's steepest vineyards. Riesling grown here is prized throughout the world for its slight sweetness, perfectly balanced by crisp acidity and aromatic floral perfume. Notes of green fruit and Meyer lemon add to the pleasant tang, with mineral touches of wet slate, beeswax and—in some aged examples—even petroleum too. It is all thanks to Mosel's very cool climate. Temperatures in the summer often don't even rise above 65 degrees. This allows for a long growing season, concentrating flavors and creating beautiful acidity.
