Wine Advocate, 92-93 Points 

"Loosen's 2022 Wehlener Sonnenuhr GG Alte Reben shows a clear, fine-scented and surprisingly cool nose. The palate is juicy, elegant, spicy and, again delicate, but with the concentration and density of the old vines. It is pleasant and elegant, as if there had been no stress in the hot and abnormally dry summer of 2022." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"The famous Sonnenuhr (“sundial”) vineyard, in the village of Wehlen, produces the quintessential Mosel style of Riesling: delicate and refined, with racy minerality and endless charm. Grosses Gewächs (GG) is the designation for an estate’s best dry wine from a Grosse Lage (grand cru) vineyard. From a parcel of very old vines (“Alte Reben”), this wine was fermented naturally and kept on the full lees for a year to allow the wine time to develop greater texture and harmony." 

Alcohol: 12.5%
