Product Details

Winemaker Notes: Dr. Loosen’s Blue Slate Kabinett captures the essence of Mosel Riesling from old vines spread throughout the estate’s six Grand Cru vineyard sites. High toned, spicy aromas of baked apple, peach cobbler, minerals and smoky slate. Intense and focused on the palate with flavors of white peach, green apple, key lime pie and wet stone.

A fantastic value that lends itself to classic German schnitzel, smoked ham, medium ripe cheeses and even barbecue.

Press Reviews

91WINE & SPIRITS

Blended from a range of Ernst Loosen’s blue-slate vineyards in Bernkastel, Graach and Wehlen, this is lean and lithe, a long-limbed wine with quiet intensity. It tastes mostly of spice and stone, with a little of the peach flesh close to the pit; it feels cool and crystalline, like the air at the top of the chairlift on a clear winter day.

91DECANTER

A classic Mosel ambassador with all the verve, lively acidity and forward fruit one would expect. Off-dry in style with loads of apricot, baked apple, snappy citrus and engaging spice. A defined minerality weaves through the mid-palate and carries on in intensity through the long, clean finish.

90WINE ENTHUSIAST

Zaps of lemon-lime acidity and spicy, smoky earth tones elevate this bright citrusy Riesling. Off dry in style, it offers tart, tangy lemon and white-grapefruit flavors edged by a honeyed sweetness. The finish is brisk and invigorating. Enjoy now through 2024.
