Wine Review: This almost clear colored dry-styled Riesling opens with a white peach and cantaloupe bouquet with hints of saline and wet stone. On the palate, this wine is light bodied with plus acidity. The mouthfeel is bright, lively, and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a saline and lime blend with notes of green tea and ginger. I also detected some hints of chalky minerality as well. The finish is semi-dry and refreshing. I would pair this Riesling with swordfish kabobs. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: A harmonious, beautifully balanced Riesling, made in a dry style that is extraordinarily versatile with food. This well-rounded Riesling is the dry counterpart to the lightly sweet Dr. L Riesling. Together, these two wines provide a glimpse into the unique stylistic diversity of Riesling, capturing the elegant and racy characteristics of steep, slate-soil Mosel vineyards at a very reasonable price. They are produced with grapes from contracted growers throughout the Mosel River valley who work closely with brothers Ernst and Thomas Loosen to achieve excellent quality in every vintage.
