91pts James Suckling

A very fresh nose of pear drops is married to juicy apple and pear fruit on the sleek and crisp palate. Long, super-clean and bright finish. Drink or hold.

Winemaker Notes

A delicately crisp, low-alcohol Riesling from the top-rated single-vineyard site that surrounds the Dr. Loosen estate.

Bernkasteler Lay is a Grosse Lage (grand cru) vineyard situated directly along the Mosel between the village of Bernkastel and the Dr. Loosen estate house. The rocky blue slate soil here produces richly textured, assertive wines. Kabinett is the German designation for the lightest, most delicate style of Riesling, produced from barely ripe grapes picked early in the harvest.
