Story

Dr. Loosen is a winemaker who might have more in common with Dr. Emmett from Back to the Future than he does with his Mosel wine-growing neighbours. A guy who has travelled more than everybody you know combined. He is an unstoppable creative with projects worldwide, all about his favourite subject - wine. Not just any wine, Ernie is a Riesling fanatic.

An estate owner who believes 'a great wine comes from the head', and these wines are all about the expression of the soil and a wonderful abundance of sunshine-kissed fruits. Think bottled pure joy, from the bone-dry expressions to the wildest, richest Eiswein magic. One of the great characters, and with wonderfully charismatic wines to match.

This is one of the best non-alcoholic wines we've tasted. Made by the super clever Ernie Loosen, this is a sweet and juicy German Riesling with the alcohol removed. That's it. What is already a naturally low alcohol fruity wine doesn't need much work to turn into a completely non alcoholic wine, and the result is wonderful - a wine that has just the right amount of juicy citrus and stonefruit juiciness to balance the crisp acidity without ever feeling too sweet. Fist pump for real non-alc wine!

PAIRING GUIDE

This non-alcoholic Riesling triumph is such a welcome addition to the range, offering a wine that has all the flavour of a classic juicy Riesling yet none of the alcohol. This wine will pair wonderfully with traditional German Riesling food friends too, like spicy noodles, curries and anything that has sweet and sour contrasts, including traditional favourites like roast pork with apple, sweet and sour chicken or a zesty citrussy warm Asian salad. Best drunk ice cold this delicious Dr Loosen Riesling is also a wonderful non alcoholic picnic wine that will be a panini's best friend.
