2009 Dr Loosen Bernkasteler Lay Kabinett Riesling

The shallow slate soil of the Lay produces powerful and complex dry wines. Classic fruit aromas, strongly reminiscent of apple and white peach, combine with floral, herbal and sometimes earthy aromas to create a very fascinating kaleidoscope of flavors.

The dry wine from a VDP.GROSSE LAGE® vineyard is the VDP.GROSSES GEWÄCHS® (GG). The best wines, with complex taste, expressive site character and special ripening potential mature in the Grosse Lagen. The grapes are harvested and selected by hand. Only healthy grapes from the best plots are fermented spontaneously in neutral oak barrels (1,000 to 3,000 liters) and matured for at least 12 months on the full lees.
