With the exception of the Kinheimer Rosenberg, the other GGs and Prädikat wines do not come close to their depth. Of the GG Reserve wines matured longer on the lees and in the bottle, the 2019 Erdener Prälat GG Alte Reben is the best.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVivino | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(151, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eVivino 4.1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAromas of apple, spices and smoke.

When Ernst Loosen assumed ownership in 1988, he realized that he had vines in some of Germany's best-rated vineyards. To maximize the potential of those vines, he dramatically limits crop size, uses only organic fertilization, insists on very strict fruit selection, and employs gentle cellar practices with a minimum of handling. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE MOSEL REGION \u003cbr\u003eLocated in far western Germany, the Mosel valley's steep, southfacing slopes create the perfect climate for Riesling, giving the vines ideal exposure to the sun. The cool climate allows the grapes to ripen slowly while retaining bright acidity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eERDENER TREPPCHEN RIESLING SPATLESE \u003cbr\u003eThe Spatlese designation means that the grapes get an extra week or two of hang time, which helps them develop higher ripeness and deeper flavors. The Erdener Treppchen Sp?tlese is a fruit-driven Riesling that combines extraordinary concentration and length with bracing minerality. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(151, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hidden-half opened\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hidden-half opened\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.5%\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural Cork\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietals:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Riesling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Erdener Treppchen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVine Age:\u003c\/strong\u003e Old vines, with Dr. Loosen's Treppchen parcels averaging around 50 years\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red, iron-rich Devonian slate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Selective late harvest\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cool fermentation in stainless steel and traditional Fuder barrels, with fermentation stopped by chilling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mosel, Germany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e VDP.GROSSE LAGE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8–10°C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDecanting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not required\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mild to medium-spicy Thai curry, lightly spiced Indian cuisine, foie gras, blue cheese, spicy Asian dishes and fruit-based desserts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"1855 The Bottle Shop Pte Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41380160176192,"sku":"WHDE20230011","price":59.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7728\/6464\/files\/dr-loosen-enlener-treppchen-riesling-spatlase-750ml.png?v=1776131592","url":"https:\/\/www.1855thebottleshop.com\/products\/dr-loosen-erdener-treppchen-riesling-spatlese-2023-750ml","provider":"1855 The Bottle Shop Pte Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
