Dr. Loosen Riesling Kabinett Wehlener Sonnenuhr 2021

The Dr. Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett 2021 is a semi-sweet white wine made exclusively from Riesling grapes. The Dr. Loosen winery, located in Germany’s Mosel region, has been family-owned for over 200 years and is renowned for producing some of the world’s most prestigious Rieslings.

This wine comes from the Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard, famous for its iconic “sundial” and regarded as one of the most distinguished sites in the Mosel Valley. The steep slopes of this vineyard are composed of blue slate soils, rich in potassium, which contribute a delicate acidity and distinctive minerality to the wine.

Winemaking Process:

The Kabinett style represents Germany’s lightest and most delicate Rieslings, made from grapes harvested early in the best vineyards. Fermentation is stopped by chilling, resulting in a lower final alcohol content (typically between 7.5% and 8.5%) and a moderate level of residual sweetness that balances the wine’s bright acidity.

Tasting Notes:

This Riesling showcases vibrant aromas of apple juice and lemon zest, with a lively acidity that balances its moderate sweetness. It is an elegant and refined wine with a crisp texture and endless charm, reflecting Dr. Loosen’s dedication to traditional viticulture and exceptional quality.
