Dr. Loosen Ürziger Würzgarten Alte Reben Reserve is a top-tier dry Riesling from the renowned “Spice Garden” vineyard in Mosel.

The site’s steep south-facing slopes and red slate soils provide ideal conditions for ripening grapes and producing wines of exceptional concentration and character. Sourced from old vines (“Alte Reben”), this wine carries the prestigious Grosses Gewächs designation, reserved for Germany’s finest dry wines. Its aromatic profile is rich and captivating—exotic fruit, white grapefruit, berries, and the distinctive spice notes of the vineyard intertwine in perfect harmony.

On the palate, it reveals depth and a velvety texture, with vibrant freshness and a pronounced minerality that lingers through the long, clean finish. This Riesling combines elegance, complexity, and a true expression of terroir, offering a wine that will delight dry wine lovers both now and after years of cellaring.
