Luminous red and unspeakably steep, the Ürziger Würzgarten forms a unique amphitheater made of Rotliegend (red, volcanic rock). It produces a completely different type of great Riesling, full of exotic, spicy aromas and great depth. In some years you can taste aniseed and even a touch of Gewürztraminer.
The lightest and most delicate German Rieslings are referred to as "Kabinetts," and this example from Ernst Loosen is full of grace and subtlety and is well balanced.
100% Riesling from sustainably farmed vineyards which follow strict German environmental regulations. Vinification in stainless-steel tanks with no maceration, stopped early to maintain the natural residual sugar. Winemaker Bernie Schug. TA 8.3 g/l, RS 38.1 g/l. Vegan. Screwcap. Bottle weight 410g.
