Dr. Loosen Riesling Eiswein 2021 represents the pinnacle of German dessert wine craftsmanship from the renowned Mosel Valley. This extraordinary ice wine showcases the estate's commitment to traditional winemaking methods, where grapes are harvested in the depths of winter at temperatures below -8°C to concentrate their natural sugars and acidity. The resulting wine displays an exquisite balance of honeyed sweetness and crisp minerality, with notes of candied citrus, apricot, and white peach complemented by the signature slate-driven terroir of the Mosel region.

Composition: 100% Riesling from old vines planted on blue Devon slate soils
Winemaking: Natural fermentation of frozen grapes harvested at -8°C, preserving concentrated flavors and natural acidity
Aging: Stainless steel tanks to maintain purity and freshness

Wine Critic Reviews

Wine Enthusiast (93): Very pure and succulent, with the tropical fruit and lemon aromas and flavors getting a boost from its racy structure. Fuller in body and very sweet with a long spicy, zingy acidity. Fine harmony and length. Drink now–2045.

Wine Enthusiast (95): This is extremely rich, yet the acidity keeps it on its toes. The palate is rich, sporting rhubarb and apricot flavors that are laced by hints of earth, coriander seed, and honeyed oolong tea. It has an appealing sweet-tart character that takes over and is matched by super suave texture. Shows incredible persistence through the long finish. Drink now through 2050.
