Ernst Loosen has a deep connection to this site, and his Grosses Gewächs bottling is always a highlight of the range, capturing both the finesse and power the vineyard is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"812\" data-start=\"521\"\u003eThe 2024 vintage gave fruit of great balance, with crisp acidity matched by depth of flavour. True to tradition, fermentation took place with wild yeasts in large old oak casks, followed by extended lees aging to bring detail and texture without clouding the vineyard’s natural expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1151\" data-start=\"814\"\u003eWhat sets Wehlener Sonnenuhr apart is its precision – a Riesling that feels lifted and pure, yet carries serious structure for long aging. Even young, the wine shows beautiful clarity, but the best is still to come with years in the cellar.

Ernst Loosen has long championed this site, seeing in it a wilder, more exotic edge compared to the linear precision of nearby vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"859\" data-start=\"529\"\u003eThe 2024 vintage delivered excellent balance, with slow ripening preserving freshness while allowing real flavour intensity to build. As always, the wine was fermented with native yeasts in traditional old oak casks and given plenty of time on lees, a method that adds texture while letting the vineyard character shine through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1217\" data-start=\"861\"\u003eWhat you get here is a dry Riesling that’s full of spice, lift and energy, underpinned by the trademark red volcanic soils of the site. It’s powerful yet playful, with layers that will only deepen over the years. One of the most distinctive wines in the Dr Loosen GG range, and a bottle that shows just how much vineyard personality matters in the Mosel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Very spicy, just as the name of this vineyard site promises.
