Blended from the red slate soils of estate vineyards in Erden, Kinheim, Lösnich and Ürzig, and farmed with the knowledge that the finished wine would be dry, Ernst Loosen and company ferment their Riesling with native yeasts in 3000 liter neutral oak casks, keeping the evolving wine on its lees for a full year. The completed wine has a softer acidity and much greater complexity.
