Intensely spicy and flinty nose with stacks of anise and fennel seed character. High tensile strength on the palate, although it is only medium-bodied. Great wet stone minerality and herbal intensity at the extremely long focused finish. Drinkable from release, but best from 2024. —S.P.
Loosen's 2022 Erdener Treppchen GG Alte Reben shows clear, bright and finely spicy slate fruit. On the palate, it is dense and juicy and develops lots of pressure and very good length. On the finish, it is pure, spicy and salty. Here, the old vines and the soil have served well in the dryness of the summer. Tasted as a sample at the Vorpremiere VDP.Grosses Gewächs in Wiesbaden in August 2023. - Stephan Reinhardt Oct 31, 2023

Undervalued and frequently mispronounced it offers a wealth of highly aromatic and diverse styles of white wine. Riesling can vary from bone dry, all the way through to lusciously sweet Beerenauslese (BA) and Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA). Its ability to age and transmit the terroir of the vineyard without losing its individual character places it amongst the most noble and academic of grape varieties. Germany is seen as Riesling's Old World home with the greatest concentration in the Mosel Valley, however, plantings have steadily increased across the border in the region of Alsace, France. Most Alsation Rieslings tend to be on the drier side. Even though some Grand Crus contain more sugar, they are still very refreshing and appetizing, due to a high level of acidity.
White wine is a wine whose color can be pale-yellow, yellow-green, and yellow-gold colored. The wine is produced from a variety of grape varieties. The flavor and color comes from the juice of the grape and sometimes the skin of the grape as well. Interestingly, not all white wine comes from white grapes. Some select red grapes are used as in Champagne.
