Tasting- DR Loosen Bros Riesling

Name:Dr. Loosen Bros Riesling
Variety: Riesling
Region: Mosel Saar Ruwer
Country: Germany
Year: 2010
Price: $11.99

Winery Review: "Dr. Loosen’s non-estate wine embodies the elegant and racy style of classic Mosel Riesling. It is refreshing and fruity, with a fine mineral edge that is typical of the region. Dr. L Riesling is made with fruit that comes exclusively from traditional vineyards with steep slopes and slate soil. By working closely with local growers on long-term contract, brothers Ernst and Thomas Loosen are able to maintain excellent quality in every vintage. Dr. L Riesling is bottled with a screwcap to avoid cork problems and to preserve freshness."

My Review: This has been my favorite Riesling I've tried thus far on my Wine Journey.  Dr.Loosen Bros developed a refreshing, sharp, and crisp Riesling which was a crowd pleaser at my adult wine tasting party.  Unlike many of the Rieslings I've had this wine was light and smooth without being overwhelmingly sweet. There were undertones of citrus and pear at the end palate that lightly coated the tip of my tongue and left me with a very satisfying wine experience.  I would most certainly buy this wine again, especially in the summer.
