Dr. Lo Riesling Alcohol-Free
This wine retains the characteristic freshness and vibrancy of a traditional Riesling, with a clear, light yellow colour and an aroma of citrus fruits, green apple, and a hint of flowers. On the palate, the wine is refreshing and crisp, with a pleasant balance between the subtle fruitiness and the mineral acidity typical of Riesling. The alcohol-free version offers a light, fresh taste experience without losing complexity, making the wine ideal for those who want to enjoy the taste of a Riesling without the alcohol. The finish is clean and refreshing, with a soft, fruity aftertaste.

The Dr. Loosen winery is located between Bernkastel and Graach, on the middle Moselle. It has been a family business for 200 years. Ernst (Erni to intimates) Loosen took over in 1988 and brought the company to the top, both nationally and internationally. This was partly achieved by tirelessly traveling the world to spread the gospel of Riesling.
The vineyard area of this estate is of unparalleled quality, with the best positions in Erste Lagen (Grand Cru vineyards) on the Middle Moselle: on the blue slate of Bernkasteler Lay, Graacher Domprobst and Himmelreich, and Wehlener Sonnenuhr, on the red volcanic rock of Ürziger Würzgarten, and on the red slate of Erdener Treppchen and Prälat. The latter vineyard (the best in the Middle Moselle) measures only 1.6 hectares, of which Loosen owns almost half.
If this isn't enough: all his vines rest on their original rootstocks: Phylloxera has never been to this part of the Moselle. Wines from Alte Reben (old vines) with an average age of over 100 (!) years are therefore not uncommon.
The winery traditionally specializes in making dry (Riesling) wines, although they also produce some off-dry to noble sweet wines.
