Blue slate is the most typical type of slate in the Middle Mosel. It provides vital nutrients to the vines and gives the wines a mineral edge that enhances the naturally high acidity of Riesling. The vineyards are characterised by incredibly steep slopes, mineral richness and excellent drainage. This combination results in zippy, mineral-drenched wines that are fruity, crisp and very refreshing. Winemaker Ernst Loosen is also one of Germany's most respected wine personalities.
