Dr. Loosen Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling GG Dry 2022 is a remarkable Grosses Gewächs (GG) from one of the Mosel's most iconic vineyards. Crafted from 100% Riesling grown on steep, iron-rich red slate soils, this dry white wine combines vibrant citrus and stone fruit with floral aromas, smoky minerality and refreshing acidity. Elegant, precise and beautifully balanced, it offers exceptional purity today while possessing the structure to age gracefully for over two decades. Perfect with seafood, sushi, poultry and creamy dishes, it is a benchmark expression of premium dry German Riesling.

The wines of this site have a reputation for aromatic extravagance and this is by no means reserved, but this Wurzgarten GG also has fantastic elegance. Glides over the palate, the concentration married to a silky texture and light-footed personality. Stacks of delicate wild flower and herb aromas. Drinkable from release.

A brilliant Grosses Gewachs from Mosel's famed ‘spice garden’ vineyard, where the vines date to over 100 years. An intense, bone-dry Riesling with exotic wild floral aromatics, saline concentration on the nose and a citrus lift. The palate shows vibrance, elegance and a hint of austerity. Flavours of smoky lemon peel and a sea spray minerality frame the citrus and early-season stone fruit flavours beautifully. While wildly fresh now, this wine has a two-decade life ahead of it.
