“This unique Riesling shows the true soul of the Mosel’s blue-slate vineyards with its purity, vibrant freshness and filigreed minerality.” – Winemaker Ernst Loosen

An ocean away but born from the same philosophy that credits the soil itself for the character of the fruit, our Riesling wine is made from grapes grown along the steep, blue-slate slopes of the Mosel River in the heart of Germany’s wine country. Winemaker Ernst Loosen is a true visionary; he and his family have made some of the world’s preeminent Riesling for over 200 years. Centuries of nurtured and deeply rooted vines produce a Riesling grape that perfectly reflects the unique climate and soil of the Mosel Valley.

The majority of the fruit is picked from the Sundial vineyard that overlooks the pristine waters of the Mosel. Ernst Loosen’s dedication to the art of winemaking, his deep and lifelong understanding of the region, and passion for uncompromising excellence, makes this Riesling a welcomed member of the Amlés family.

“Sonnenuhr 20” and “Sonnenuhr 21” are works of art by Sharon Virts that grace our Blue Slate labels and captures the unique essence of the vineyard’s landscape. The sundial, an emblematic feature of the Mosel cliffs, mirrors the wine’s time-honored cultivation, imbuing each bottle with a sense of place and history.
