How can something that is so light in alcohol have such incredible palate weight and texture? It's an art form and Ernst Loosen is a master. The Kabinett style means a decent lick of residual sugar, but the steely, crunchy acid means you'll hardly notice it. Simply stunning.

Dr Bürklin-Wolf Trocken Riesling 2007 is the perfect blend of pristine citrus and stone fruit aromas. With a crisp middle, lasting dry finish and hint of spice, this dry Riesling is delightful on the palate.

The wine-growing region Nahe is situated along the River Nahe in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The region has around 4.000 ha of vineyards: white wine grapes dominate with 75% with the Riesling as the most common. A characteristic of the Nahe region os the soil diversity due to volcanic origins. Although the region was populated already in Roman times, the Nahe region was defined only in 1971 in the German wine law. Paradiesgarten is a special small appellation in the Nahe Valley near the village of Meddersheim, translated the word means "Garden of Eden/Paradise" due to the beautiful countryside

From Dr Ernst Loosen - the maestro of the Mosel. If you are new to German Riesling, you are in for a treat. Mouth filling notes of freshly cut apples, flowers and a thread of honey is balanced by the most incredible, crunchy acid. Its a journey of flavour with each mouthful. Oh and look at the price...

The current vintage of Dr. L Riesling evokes a walk through an orchard in the late summer: luscious pear, peach and apple aromas retain the crisp sweet tart quality of ripening fruit just before harvest. Highly recommended

Following fermentation the wine is bottled after four months maturation on fine lees. Colour is pale but gleaming yellow with green tints and the nose is typically intense with notes of peach and apricot. Good length in the mouth with various citrussy and intense, almost salty mineral notes. The wine is noted for its structure and finesse. Thörle Riesling is best consumed as a young wine, up to seven years after vintage.
