Dr. Loosen, Weingut Zach. Bergweiler-Prüm Erben, Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese - Grosse Lage 2018

Dr Loosen, exceptional Rieslings from century-old vines

Domaine Dr. Loosen has been a family estate for over two centuries. Thanks to its century-old vines and prestigious plots, it produces exceptional Rieslings. Rated five stars by Falstaff, Domaine Dr. Loosen owes its renown to Ernst Loosen, who took over the estate in 1998 and restored the prestige of Moselle Rieslings by highlighting the unique characteristics of each terroir.

Weingut Zach. Bergweiler-Prüm Erben is an emblematic project by Ernst, in homage to his great-grandfather Zacharias Bergweiler, a well-known winemaker of the 20th century. The estate, located in Wehlen, follows traditional, low-intervention practices.

Dr. Loosen: Wehlener Sonnenuhr ''Auslese'' 2018

The blue slate soil of Wehlen's “sundial” vineyard produces Rieslings of unique elegance and finesse. Auslese, which means “selected at harvest”, is made from very ripe grapes, around 50% of which are affected by noble rot (botrytis). The resulting wine is dense, with intense aromas and a rich mouthfeel, yet retains the fine structure that characterizes this great terroir. The grapes were pressed in a restored 1910 basket press, then fermented naturally and aged for 24 months in a traditional 1,000-liter foudre.

The 2018 Moselle harvest, the earliest on record, benefited from equally early budburst and flowering. Despite the summer drought, some rain and the deep-rooted old vines ensured good yields, healthy grapes and excellent quality.

From ungrafted, 130-year-old vines, the 2018 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Vieilles Vignes Riesling Auslese was made from very ripe clusters that were about 50% affected by botrytis. Picked along with the dry grand cru (GG) and about two weeks later than the Kabinett, the 2018 Auslese is rich yet also fine and multi-layered on the elegant, delicately slatey nose. Dense and rich on the palate and definitely sweet yet also spicy, with delicate acidity and a savory slate note, this is a tasty and generous but still not a little playful Sonnenuhr that will gain finesse and complexity over many years. It should be given this time, i.e., about a decade. There are notes of black tea in relation to the delicate tannins as well as the bergamot aromas. In the long term, this might be a fabulous interpretation and the finest of the 2018s that will all be released in November this year. It was bottled with 10% stated alcohol plus a moderate 39.8 grams per liter of residual sugar. I doubt whether she really “drinks like water” in 10 or 15 years' time, as Ernst Loosen cheerfully remarked; but if the master means the speed with which his old-fashioned Auslese is drunk, he is likely to be proved right. Natural cork. Tasted in October 2024.

Weingut Zach. Bergweiler-Prüm Erben, Dr Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese 2018 (Mosel; 100% Riesling; just 1200 bottles from a parcel of 130 year old vines on ungrafted rootstock on blue Devonian slate; 39.8 g/l of residual sugar; 10% alcohol). More crystalline that the other expressions of this singular terroir. Fireworks and cordite. Pine cones. Quince. Incredibly lifted and, again, highly acidic. An upward pointed fire hose of fresh fruit juice – pear, peach, apricot (just a little), quince, white melon. A tonne of stony minerality. Pipe smoke (a trace). Extremely saline. Fleur de sel. Iodine. Another vin de garde requiring a certain amount of forward projection on the part of the taster. Staggering potential.

So much dried-peach and apricot character here, but then a wealth of florals, such as dried orchid and jasmine. Hints of peppermint tea, croissant and orange spread. The sweetness is powerful and long-lasting, but the acidity is equally, if not more profound and engulfing. So much tension and minerality here, despite the ripeness. The finish goes on and on. Drink now or hold.

This leads with a pungent, dusty combination of spent yeasts, crushed stone, bruised apple skin and lime peel. From the nose, I would never have guessed I had an Auslese in my glass. The feel is surprisingly firm, and flavors of dried apple dominate, taking on attractive but lightly sizzling cinnamon and clove accents on a finish that led me to suspect the presence of botrytis, even though Schug claimed that any botrytis this vintage went solely into BA or TBA. That finish is quite tongue-tingling, a reprise of lime peel and crushed stone adding to an overall sense of animation, though without much sheer juiciness. This will be interesting to follow, and I consider my suggested drinking window especially speculative.
