Dr Loosen Erdener Treppchen Riesling Kabinett 2022 Description
Meaning 'The Little Staircase of Erden'. This vineyard is so steep that stone steps were built into the hillside centuries ago to enable workers to reach the vines. More a rock climber than a dancer, the wine that comes from this red slate soil is muscular and complex, with an intense minerality on the finish.
The wine has lots of substance, peaches, hints of orange peel; very long with a harmonious, mineral finish.
This Kabinett Riesling is built for the cellar. The 2022 vintage displays the structure and acidity that define serious German Rieslings with genuine ageing potential. Over the next 5–10 years, the wine will develop greater complexity, with secondary flavours emerging as the fruit integrates with the mineral backbone. The slate terroir provides the framework for graceful evolution, allowing the wine to gain depth and refinement while maintaining its characteristic elegance. Collectors will find this vintage rewards patience, transforming into a more nuanced expression of the Erdener Treppchen vineyard's distinctive character.
