2022 Dr. Loosen Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Kabinett

Dr. Loosen

Mosel

A delicately crisp, low-alcohol Riesling from the top-rated single-vineyard site that surrounds the Dr. Loosen estate.

Bernkasteler Lay is a Grosse Lage (grand cru) vineyard situated directly along the Mosel between the village of Bernkastel and the Dr. Loosen estate house. The rocky blue slate soil here produces richly textured, assertive wines. Kabinett is the German designation for the lightest,
most delicate style of Riesling, produced from barely ripe grapes picked early in the harvest.


Vinification

Cool fermentation in stainless steel and neutral Fuder casks; half fermented with native yeasts, half with cultured yeasts.
