Dr. Loosen Riesling Dry Red Slate 2017

Dr. Loosen’s “Red Slate” Riesling is a dry counterpart to the classically fruity “Blue Slate” Kabinett. It is produced with fruit from estate-owned vineyards in the red slate soils in the villages of Erden and Ürzig. Farmed specifically for producing a dry wine, it is fermented with native yeasts in 3,000-liter, neutral oak casks. 

Red Slate Riesling Dry has an intense minerality that is warm and enveloping, with a floral, spicy, citrus blossom aroma and a harmonious palate. The dry style is ideal for classic continental cuisine.

Stony mineral notes juxtapose rich honey and grapefruit flavors in this foursquare dry Riesling. It's broad and creamy on the palate yet briskly balanced with acidity. The finish is vibrant and long, accented with hints of lime and salt.
