Dr Loosen Riesling Beerenauslese 18.75cl 7.5%

Mosel, Germany

100%

Beerenauslese (BA) means “berry select” in German. It is the legal Prädikat term for a luscious, late-harvest wine made from grapes that have been partially dried by the botrytis fungus, also known as “Noble Rot.” These extremely concentrated, moldy grapes are painstakingly separated from the unaffected fruit and vinified to make one of Germany’s most prized vinous treasures.

The legal minimum for BA must weight is 110° Oechsle, but at Dr. Loosen it usually starts with a minimum of 120° Oechsle (28 Brix).

This Beerenauslese, exclusively from estate-owned vineyards, has a juicy mouthful of ripe fruits with a finish that is long and satisfying, but never heavy.

Perfect as an aperitif with rich foods like foie gras, or with creamy desserts featuring fresh fruits.

Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
