Meticulous selection of immaculate hand-picked grapes. Gentle pressing followed by wild-yeast fermentation in traditional Fuder (oak casks). Subsequent maturation on the gross lees for 24 months as well as a further 36 months' ageing in bottle before release.
Erdener Prälat is the smallest and best vineyard at Weingut Dr. Loosen. The site's exceptionally warm microclimate, perfect southerly aspect, and red slate terroir produce Rieslings full of energy and complexity. Its sheltered location sandwiched between the river below and the crags above results in great dry Rieslings and ultra-fine sweet wines all the way up to Trockenbeerenauslese. Mango, passion fruit and bitter almond constitute the characteristic aromas and flavours of a Prälat Riesling.
