O Produtor, tasting note published in June 29th 2016

This wine has a bright, stony fruit aroma that is drenched in peaches and apricots. It is medium weight, but the apricot richness has a massive impact and a palate-coating texture. The fruit has good persistence and leads to a long, dry finish. There is also a stony purity that is characteristic of Pfalz Riesling and lingers on the palate. Excellent richness and solid structure make it complete and surprisingly powerful. It has good length, with a dry, crisp finish.

Villa Wolf

Founded in 1756 in the Pfalz region of Germany, the J.L. Wolf estate (now called Villa Wolf) was a successful and highly regarded winery for over two centuries. It had an especially glamorous time with the construction of its Italianate house and villa in 1843. In the last years of the 20th century, however, the estate languished, with no steady hand to guide its wine production. Ernst Loosen of Dr. Loosen Estate took over the vineyards in 1996, providing a huge turnaround in the quality and reputation of the estate. Since 2011, the estate has been managed by a young, talented and dedicated team who previously worked at the Dr Loosen estate. Sumi Gebauer and Patrick Möllendorf have brought renewed energy and focus to viticulture and winemaking at Villa Wolf.

Weingut Dr. Loosen

When in 1988, Ernst F. Loosen took over the management of the family-owned business with over 200 years of history, he had already traveled the world and visited the most prestigious wine producers in search of the secret behind the greatest wines, with the aim of producing world-class wines himself. These journeys of discovery inspired his own philosophy that great wines are the perfect expression of the soil, climate, and grape variety.
It is in the heritage of his ancestors, in the old vineyards located in the Mosel Valley, that he found the material he needed to produce exceptional and complex wines, classified as “Grosse Lage” (equivalent to Grand Cru in Burgundy). Today, Weingut Dr. Loosen is the standard-bearer for a rediscovered German Riesling culture and a member of the VDP (Association of German Quality Wineries).
“Enjoying a great wine is a unique pleasure, both sensually and intellectually. The aromatic and textural sensations in a bottle of wine capture a whole cosmos, from the change of seasons to the distinctive terroir of a vineyard, the passion of the winemaker, and the distinctive stamp of the vintage. Wine is a historical record of the regional and cultural information collected in the grapes at a particular point in time, delivered directly to your glass. To achieve this marvel of humans working with nature, all the great winemakers I have met started with a clear vision of what their wines should express before the first grape is picked. For them, individual terroir triumphs over technology. And quality always comes before quantity. Great wines grow from great passion and dedication, and from clear convictions that are realized without compromise.
(…) That ability to transmit a visceral connection to a people, place, and time is what sets wine apart from any other beverage.” – Ernst Loosen
