Production 
Erden is a small village that has some of the most picturesque vineyards in all the Middle Mosel associated with its name. Erden has vineyards that are known for iron-infused, red slate soil that helps produce wines that are muscular and complex, with intense minerality on the finish. This Dr. Loosen Erdener Red Slate Riesling Dry is an excellent ambassador for the wines of this village and their distinct style.
