About Dr. Loosen Estate:
The Dr. Loosen Estate has been in the same family for more than 200 years. When Ernst Loosen assumed ownership in 1988, he recognized that, with ungrafted vines averaging 60 years old in some of the Mosel valley’s best-rated vineyards, he had the raw materials to create world-class wines that reflect their unique terroir. To realize this potential, Ernst changed the estate’s vineyard practices to dramatically reduce crop size. He stopped all chemical fertilization, allowing only moderate use of organic fertilizers and soil amendments. At harvest, he insisted on strict selection of optimally ripe fruit for each style and quality level. And he turned to gentler cellar practices that allowed the wines to develop fully with a minimum of technological meddling. Ernst continues these practices today, producing wines of great character that proudly proclaim their origin.
Since Ernst took over, Dr. Loosen wines have received countless awards and glowing reviews in the wine press. The estate has become a member of the prestigious VDP, Germany’s association of top-rated wine estates, and has been named one of the 10 best estates in Germany by nearly every wine publication worldwide. In 2019, Loosen estate was in the Top 10 best Wineries to visit in the world.
