TASTING NOTES

From very old un-grafted vines in the Onnerts and Herzlay sectors (situated just above and next to the Prälat) and fermented with ambient yeasts and aged in oak for 12 months. Erdener Treppchen is perennially the more reserved of the trio of GG’s we present each year, demanding patience and attention. Whilst Sonnenuhr is habitually super charming, and Würzgarten is expressive and upright, Treppchen tends to be more earnest, taking time to reveal its stripes. This 2023 follows that narrative but when splashed into a big glass and given some air, its elusive nature is also it’s calling card. A wine for the ages and sure to go down in the annals of time as a classic.

An amazingly minerally dry Mosel riesling that seems to descend into your glass from the heavens like an angel. Incredible wildflower and peach intensity, and yet this is very elegant and subtle on the medium-bodied palate. What fantastic precision at the extremely long finish. Great aging potential. Drink from release.

From the ferrous red slate soils of this very steep vineyard next to the Prälat, the 2023 Erdener Treppchen GG Alte Reben opens clear, deep, fresh and intense yet also refined on the elegant nose that intermingles delicate slate and intense saline notes with concentrated and spicy Riesling aromas without becoming too fruity. Mouth-filling, saline and highly refined on the palate, this is an elegant but tight and very complex, intense, long und textural Treppchen with a sustainable and layered finish that exhibits mineral and herbal flavors as well as great and complex intensity that is sourced from the terroir and transported by the deep roots of the ancient vines. The 2023 Treppchen is a highlight of the vintage in Loosen's portfolio and most probably among all the Grosses Gewächs Rieslings from the Middle Mosel. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork.
