Dr Loosen Graacher Village Riesling

Dr. Loosen Graacher Village Riesling (often labeled as Graacher Riesling Dry / Qualitätswein) is a beautifully crisp, precise, and highly expressive dry white wine that showcases the unique slate-driven terroir of the village of Graach in the Middle Mosel: on the nose it shows vibrant aromas of crunchy green apple, white peach, and fresh bosc pear layered with wet stone, flinty minerality, citrus blossom, and a subtle hint of lemongrass, wild herbs, and fresh lime zest; the palate is light-to-medium-bodied, energetic, and wonderfully linear, with flavours of juicy white nectarine, lime sorbet, and yellow plum supported by notes of crushed gravel, white pepper, subtle herbal teas, and a clean, chalky texture, sometimes edging into riper hints of fresh apricot, while a piercing, razor-sharp natural acidity cuts directly through the subtle fruit weight to keep it remarkably refreshing, dry, and focused; the finish is remarkably long, mouth-watering, and clean, lingering on citrus peel, delicate orchard fruit skins, and a hallmark Graach salty, blue slate mineral aftertaste.
