From

Born in the Mosel Valley, this wine’s ancestors likely whispered to the shadows of castles and knights roaming these lands. When Ernst “Erni” Loosen took the reins, he not only inherited vines older than your grandmother’s heirlooms but a pioneering spirit that refuses to be boxed into tradition. The blue slate vineyards that give this Riesling its name capture the sun’s warmth and the soul of the earth, crafting a vibrant, minerally wine that whispers stories from the past while making a statement today.
