Ürziger Würzgarten—meaning “the spice garden of Ürzig”—is one of the Mosel Valley’s most distinctive vineyards, famous for its dramatic red volcanic and slate soils that give its wines an unmistakable aromatic signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"982\" data-end=\"1327\"\u003eThe 2022 vintage expresses both ripeness and tension, delivering layers of stone fruit, citrus peel, tropical accents, floral notes, and the vineyard’s hallmark exotic spice character. Old, ungrafted Riesling vines planted on steep slopes overlooking the Mosel River produce naturally low yields, resulting in remarkable concentration and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1329\" data-end=\"1724\"\u003eDr. Loosen’s GG wines follow a traditional, patient approach inspired by historic Mosel winemaking. Grapes are hand-harvested from old vines, fermented naturally, and aged for an extended period on the lees in large, neutral oak casks to build texture and complexity without masking the purity of the vineyard. The result is a dry Riesling with power, precision, and exceptional aging potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1726\" data-end=\"2035\"\u003eWhile vibrant and expressive in youth, this wine will continue evolving for decades, gaining layers of honeycomb, saffron, dried citrus, smoke, and savory mineral complexity. Pair with lobster, scallops, roasted poultry, pork dishes, aged cheeses, Thai cuisine, or dishes featuring ginger and aromatic spices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"kvn56h\" data-start=\"2037\" data-end=\"2058\"\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2060\" data-end=\"2389\"\u003eDr. Loosen is one of Germany’s most celebrated Riesling estates, with a family history in the Mosel spanning more than 200 years. Under the leadership of Ernst “Erni” Loosen, who took over the estate in 1988, the winery gained international recognition for restoring the reputation of traditional, terroir-focused Mosel Riesling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2391\" data-end=\"2736\"\u003eThe estate is built around extraordinary holdings of old, ungrafted vines in some of the Mosel’s greatest vineyards, including Ürziger Würzgarten, Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Erdener Prälat, and Erdener Treppchen. Many of these vines are over a century old, growing on steep, rocky slopes where they produce wines of remarkable purity and individuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2738\" data-end=\"3163\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eDr. Loosen’s philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention, sustainable vineyard practices, spontaneous fermentations, and extended maturation to reveal the character of each vineyard rather than simply the grape variety. The GG collection represents the estate’s pursuit of dry Riesling at the highest level—combining Mosel delicacy and transparency with the structure, depth, and longevity of the world’s greatest white wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PERRINE's WINE SHOP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52888060887329,"sku":"210000022001","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0804\/6785\/3601\/files\/BHSTOCKWINEPHOTO-donotedit-2026-06-23T141718.805.png?v=1782238747","url":"https:\/\/perrineswine.com\/products\/copy-of-2017-dr-loosen-riesling-gg-reserve-erdener-pralat-mosel-germany-1","provider":"PERRINE's WINE SHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
