Instead of resorting to copious amounts of chemical fertiliser, Weingut Dr. Loosen only work their soils using low quantities of organic manure. And more than anything else, they favour a gentle, more old-school form of winemaking that gives their wines enough time to develop their inner balance and pedigree, fermenting them with wild yeasts whenever possible and affording them a long period of maturation on the fine lees.
Inviting aromas of pear, peach and small red fruits. Juicy, playful and energetic on the palate, with pleasant acidity. Elegant and light – a classic Kabinett.
Erdener Treppchen – bordering Erdener Prälat directly to the east – is so steep that vineyard workers built a stone staircase into the hillside centuries ago so that they could access the vines more easily. This south-to-south-west-facing slope has ferrous red slate soil, yielding rich, racy, complex Rieslings that have an intense mineral aftertaste.
