Handford Wines

The Loosen family, proprietor of the famed Dr Loosen Estate, is one of Germany's finest producers, and has been the subject of many international wine articles and of Jancis Robinson's BBC Wine Course. Great Rieslings, with the harmony of fruit and acidity, make wonderful aperitifs and are a perfect accompaniment to fish and shell fish, and also salty or strong blue cheese. See www. drloosen.de

The Wine

The fruit from the spectacular "sundial vineyard" has amazing aspect that captures the unique middle Mosel terroir. Layers of blue slate have been excavated and spread over the vineyard for generations and the mineral infulence on the wines is noted. The Spatlese offers excellent depth of fruit with balance between freshness and sweetness - and that all important crystaline purity. A world class terroir wine.
