{"product_id":"2025-riesling-l-fruity-dr-loosen","title":"Riesling 'L' Fruity, Dr Loosen 2025","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHow it tastes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoyously juicy, off-dry Riesling packed with sun-ripened peach and yellow cherry. Lemon-lime acidity keeps it feather-light and refreshing at just 8.5% alcohol — an easy, revitalising sip — 100% Riesling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr Loosen is one of the Mosel's leading estates, in the same family for more than 200 years and a member of the VDP since 1993; Ernst Loosen has run it since 1988, cutting yields and moving to organic farming with a firm belief that the wine is made in the vineyard. The 'L' comes from various sites on the slate slopes of the Mosel, where the rock stores daytime heat and gives the Riesling its mineral, vibrant character. Winemakers Berni Schug and Ernst Loosen fermented it in temperature-controlled stainless steel, then chilled and filtered it at the point where the balance of natural grape sweetness and acidity tasted right. The 2025 season began cool, with rapid growth in spring and even flowering; a warm, dry August gave aromatic, balanced fruit, and rain during harvest called for strict selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe gentle sweetness and low alcohol make it a brilliant partner for spicy food — Thai curries, Sichuan dishes, Vietnamese salads — as well as smoked fish, pork with apple and mild washed-rind cheeses. Serve well chilled at 6–8°C and drink young, within two to three years; screwcap sealed. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dr Loosen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58464548028799,"sku":"HNW-4702025A","price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/4192\/4998\/files\/HNW-4702025A.png?v=1789766866","url":"https:\/\/www.edkawines.com\/products\/2025-riesling-l-fruity-dr-loosen","provider":"Edka Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
