LOOSEN ESTATE \u003cbr\u003eThe Dr. Loosen estate has been in the same family for over 200 years. 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\u003eGRAACHER HIMMELREICH RIESLING GG ALTE REBEN \u003cbr\u003eGraach is a small village that lies between two more-famous neighbors, Bernkastel and Wehlen. Its steep, southwest-facing slopes and deep soils produce wines that combine the elegance of Wehlen with the rustic strength of Bernkastel. Grosses Gewechs (GG) means 'great growth' in German and is the designation for an estate?s best dry wine from a Grosse Lage (grand cru) vineyard. This limited-production wine is from a parcel of extremely old vines (alte Reben). It is fermented with indigenous yeasts and kept in the barrel, on the full lees, for a year before it is bottled. The extended maturation time allows the wine to develop greater texture and a natural harmony. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\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\u003e\u003cspan class=\"w6asjq_TextBase _85PZeG_Text\" data-d-component=\"text\" data-d-default-strong=\"\" data-d-inline=\"\"\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5% ABV\u003cspan class=\"w6asjq_TextBase _85PZeG_Text\" data-d-component=\"text\" data-d-inline=\"\" data-d-whitespace=\"preserve\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"w6asjq_TextBase _85PZeG_Text\" data-d-component=\"text\" data-d-default-strong=\"\" data-d-inline=\"\"\u003eClosure:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural Cork\u003cspan class=\"w6asjq_TextBase _85PZeG_Text\" data-d-component=\"text\" data-d-inline=\"\" data-d-whitespace=\"preserve\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"w6asjq_TextBase _85PZeG_Text\" data-d-component=\"text\" data-d-default-strong=\"\" data-d-inline=\"\"\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003cspan class=\"w6asjq_TextBase _85PZeG_Text\" data-d-component=\"text\" data-d-inline=\"\" data-d-whitespace=\"preserve\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"w6asjq_TextBase _85PZeG_Text\" data-d-component=\"text\" data-d-default-strong=\"\" data-d-inline=\"\"\u003eGrape Varieties:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Riesling\u003cspan class=\"w6asjq_TextBase _85PZeG_Text\" data-d-component=\"text\" data-d-inline=\"\" data-d-whitespace=\"preserve\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"w6asjq_TextBase _85PZeG_Text\" data-d-component=\"text\" data-d-default-strong=\"\" data-d-inline=\"\"\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Graacher Himmelreich, Mosel, Germany;
