Description
Situated directly along the Mosel between the Dr. Loosen estate house and the village of Bernkastel, the “Lay” (an old dialect word for slate) vineyard’s soil is a bit heavier and deeper than in the neighboring villages of Wehlen and Graach. It also has a somewhat gentler slope than the estate’s other vineyards, producing richly textured, assertive wines.
