Tasting Notes

From ungrafted vines in the prime Urglück, Maxberg, and Layenhaus sectors, fermented with ambient yeasts and aged in oak for 12 months. Year after year, the Würzgarten wears its heart on its sleeve, and the 2024 vintage does so with pride. This year’s wine is as expressive as ever, showcasing the site’s unique character.

Critic Scores

Very spicy, just as the name of this vineyard site promises. Terrific tension and complexity on the medium-bodied palate. For this amount of power it’s remarkable how cool the wine remains. Very long, complete finish. Drink from release.

The 2024 Ürziger Würzgarten GG Alte Reben is a subtle, playful Riesling that captivates with its delicate, elegant nose, clear fruit and fine savoriness. Very salty and delicate on the palate, with juicy fruit and crystal- clear acidity, this is possibly Loosen's finest grand cru of the vintage. Tasted as a sample at the Vorpremiere VDP.Grosses Gewächs in Wiesbaden,

The 2024 Riesling Ürziger Würzgarten Alte Reben Grosses Gewächs comes with a mere flicker of deadnettle on the nose, followed by a slight creaminess. Lemon and tangerine are juicy and salty on the palate and lend great concentration on a smoothly textured, compact wine. There is much extract and lovely poise here. (Dry)

Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

Ürziger Würzgarten ('spice garden') stands as one of Mosel's most celebrated vineyard sites, internationally renowned for wines of distinctive aromatic character and complex mineral expression that define the terroir. The vineyard's blue slate soils, interspersed with reddish weathered layers, create a unique mineral signature that translates into the wine's peppery, spiced fruit profile. South-facing terraced slopes maximise solar exposure during the growing season whilst the Moselle's thermal mass moderates temperature extremes. Dr. Loosen's tenure spans decades of sustainable cultivation, preserving soil vitality and vine health. The 2024 growing season delivered balanced ripeness, allowing the vineyard's inherent spice character.

Vinification

Hand-harvested grapes undergo gentle crushing and pneumatic pressing to extract clarity and freshness without astringency or excessive phenolic extraction. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel vessels using natural yeasts occurring on the fruit, a slow and deliberate process that may extend into the following spring or even summer. Fine lees contact during winter months adds textural subtlety and aromatic complexity to the developing wine. The wine remains in tank until spring racking and minimal clarification, preserving natural character. Bottling is conducted without fining or filtration, preserving the vineyard's distinctive mineral signature and aromatic intensity.
