“I want to taste the depth of the old vines. I want to experience the character of the vintage. I want authenticity; without it, a wine is simply another beverage.” These are the words of winemaker Ernst Loosen—Dr. Loosen, as he’s known. No wonder he’s created this elegant and racy Riesling, evoking the steep, slate-soil vineyards of the Mosel Valley. Aromas of flowers, lime, nectarine and peaches burst forward in the nose, making way for sumptuous peach and melon on the palate. Acidity winds through the fruit like a graceful vine. A perfect German translation of terroir. Sustainable, Organic
You’ve got to love a great pink wine. It doesn’t apologize. It doesn’t make excuses for itself. It simply moves beyond any preconceived notions you may have of its kind, and lavishes you with brilliant flavors and aromas—fresh red berry, citrus and melon. It will pair beautifully with all kinds of foods, and keep its head held high. (Whether it’s blushing however, well, that we really don’t know.) Sustainable
In Saarburg, a picturesque medieval town in Germany, the Zilliken family has been making Riesling wines for 260 years. Glowing and fresh as the sky on a late spring evening, this wine makes a great aperitif. A lovely nose of peach and apricot introduces flavors of citrus, herb and vanilla. Light but creamy, its apple-spiked finish lingers in your mouth and tickles the tongue with the lightness of a butterfly’s wing—a sensation that inspired its name. Sustainable
