Mosel QbA Prädikatswein Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Auslese 2014 Dr. Loosen

Dr. Loosen's Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Auslese comes from a vineyard defined by red and sandy volcanic soils with a steep slope. Known for the spicy characteristics it can give to wines, this vineyard is called the "spice garden" and is located in the Moselle area.

The harvest takes place when the overripe grapes have reached the desired sugar level and when part of them - about 50% - has been attacked by noble rot, Botrytis Cinerea. The grape harvesting operation is carried out in conjunction with a very careful selection, which allows you to get only the best. A vinification follows, which involves the use of steel only.

This Auslese by Dr. Loosen has a golden yellow colour, a sign of the density and complexity that characterize it. In fact, the nose shows a very wide aromatic range, which begins with the fruity tones of yellow peach, grapefruit, almond, and then leaves room for a markedly sweet note of honey, enlivened by aromatic herbs and an unmistakable spicy texture. In the mouth, sweetness and flavour coexist in a perfect balance, as well as the full and enveloping body proceeds firmly together with the freshness. It closes in a long, creamy and fascinating finish.

Can be combined with desserts, especially fruit-based ones, but also with some blue cheeses. Excellent to accompany a pear Tarte tatin with Parmesan ice cream.
