Dr. Loosen 2006 Beerenauslese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)

Country: Germany / Beerenauslese
Variety: Riesling Mosel-Saar-Ruwer
Winery: Dr. Loosen /

Made from an early picking of botrytized grapes from the Bernkasteler Lay vineyard, this is a sweet, plump wine, filled to the brim with lush tropical fruit flavors. The aromas show remarkably pure pear and pineapple scents, with just a touch of dried apricots but also a sense of slate-driven minerality. With 300 cases imported, it should prove relatively easy to find.
