Details
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 sweat. Fist pump for real non-alc wine!

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.

Wine region
Mosel, Germany
Mosel is arguably Germany's most famous wine region and is home to some of the best white wines on the talent made from the mighty Riesling grape variety. Here you will find some of the steepest vineyards in the world planted on the banks of the Mosel River, which plays a crucial role in ripening the grapes, acting as a mirror to reflect sunlight off the water back onto the steep, slate vineyards, warming up the soils and ripening the berries. Riesling is produced in a range of styles and sweetnesses here, from bone dry, to lusciously sweet. If you are in the market for world-class Riesling, then look no further than this stunning region.
