Description

The Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard ("Sundial of Wehlen") is one of the most famous vineyards in the middle Mosel. This is Dr. Loosen's finest Riesling off that site.

One of Erni Loosen's pride and joys.

This is considered one the finest wines in the Dr. Loosen range and offers excellent value for money in the context of the great white wines of the world.

"Stunning concentration and succulence, but also impeccable balance this is a great Mosel GG that will give so much pleasure in the years to come. In spite of everything there is a lovely delicacy at the finish." - Stuart Pigott (James Suckling)

96 points - "This needs a moment’s aeration for the fine stone fruit aromas to emerge. Stunning concentration and
succulence, but also impeccable balance this is a great Mosel GG that will give so much pleasure in the years
to come. In spite of everything there is a lovely delicacy at the finish. Drinkable from release, but best from
2024." - Stuart Pigott (James Suckling)

Great Riesling

Crisp, mineral & very aromatic. Has that typical light fizz in the tongue, like many German Rieslings. Great stuff as you'd expect from any Dr Loosen.

Wehlener ‘Sonnenuhr’ (The ‘Sundial’ of Wehlen – sundail was built in 1846): Grosse Lage, Southwest facing, weathered devoninan blue slate with high rock content and almost no top soil, 110-320m above sea level, individually-staked vines, incredibly steep slopes, elegant, delicate & pure wines.

In this very steep vineyard grows one of the most elegant and perfumed white wines in the world. The stony, shallow blue slate soil gives the wine a delicate and fresh acidity and a unique elegance. In their youth, the wines of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr are the most charming of our estate, with the fragrance of white peach and green apple. With many years of bottle maturity, they can grow into legends. - Dr. Loosen

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
