Dr Losen Is one Germany’s big but excellent producers, especially of Riesling. Even the off blue colour of the bottle and crisp label say class. I like to taste wine blind so you are not influenced by the label but in this case, who cares. Aromas of lychee and citrus with hints of petroleum. The taste is refreshing with fresh mineral notes coming through and lime popping out. The length is excellent and the underlying sweetness is beautifully integrated.
