Erdener Prälat is four acres of ancient red slate on a 45-degree pitch, facing due south with the Mosel bouncing light back up at it. Many will tell you it's the greatest vineyard in the region, and they have a case. Dr. Loosen has been family-run for over 200 years, and when Ernst Loosen took over in 1988 he inherited ungrafted vines averaging 60 years old in some of Germany's best sites. That's the whole story here: old roots, red slate, and Riesling with nowhere to hide.

Tasting Notes

Erdener Prälat (AIR-din-er PRAY-laht) is considered by many wine lovers to be the greatest vineyard in the Mosel region. This four-acre site has perfect southern exposure, a 100-percent (45°) slope, very old vines in ancient red slate soil, and an ideal location directly adjacent to the river. Because of its exposition and warm vineyard climate, Erdener Prälat always produces the richest, most kaleidoscopic wines of all our Grosse Lage (grand cru) sites. This special-selection Auslese is made from clusters that were fully botrytis affected, for a luscious, intensely concentrated dessert wine.
