Villa Wolf Estate Was Founded in 1756 by Johann Ludwig Wolf and Was a Highly Tregarded Winery for More Than Two Centuries
ROOTS OF THE WINE he Villa Wolf estate was founded in 1756 by Johann Ludwig Wolf and was a highly Tregarded winery for more than two centuries. It entered an especially glamorous era in 1843 with the construction of an Italianate estate house and villa, which give the estate its current name. In the latter years of the 20th century, however, the vineyards and winery fell into a period of neglect until Ernst Loosen took them over in 1996, launching a dra- matic turnaround in the estate’s quality and reputation. Ernst Loosen’s goal at Villa Wolf is to make full-bodied, traditionally crafted Pfalz wines to complement the lighter, more delicate Dr. Loosen wines from the Mosel. In addition to Riesling, the Pfalz region has a long tradition with other classic grape varieties, which has allowed Ernst to expand his winemaking palette to include Gewürztraminer, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir. At both the Dr. Loosen estate in the Mosel and the Villa Wolf estate in the Pfalz, Ernst strives to make authentic wines that convey the stylistic traditions of each region, the character of each grape variety, and the distinctive terroir of each vineyard site. The entrance to the Italianate Villa Wolf estate house, designed by famed German architect Friedrich Eisenlohr. 1 THE PFALZ REGION ocated in the heart of the Pfalz LL(pronounced “faults”) region of Germany, Villa Wolf lies between the Haardt Mountains and the Rhine River, directly north of France’s Alsace region. The mountains are relatively small, but they protect the Pfalz from cold, wet Atlantic weather, making it one of the warmer and drier areas of Germany.

Dr. Loosen & J. Christopher
Appassionata vineyard and J. Christopher winery Abbey Ridge vineyard in the Dundee Hills Jay Somers & Ernst Loosen DR. LOOSEN & J. CHRISTOPHER 2008 Appassionata Pinot Noir J. CHRISTOPHER WINES Located in Oregon’s Northern Willamette Valley, J. Christopher Wines is a small winery that specializes in Pinot Noir made in the traditional style of Burgundy, and in Sauvignon Blanc modeled after the great wines of Sancerre. The winery is co-owned by Jay Somers, who has been making wine in Oregon for more than 20 years, and Ernst Loosen, owner of the Dr. Loosen estate in Germany. Their shared philosophy is to produce wines in an Old World style that emphasizes focus, length and balance. APPASSIONATA PINOT NOIR Appassionata is a direct result of the friendship between Jay and Ernst, two dedicated wine- makers who share an overriding passion for Pinot Noir. It is the original collaboration cuvée that they started with the 2005 vintage, and represents the pinnacle of our production each year. To assemble the wine, they select a few of the very best barrels, with a distinctive com- bination of clones, terroirs and cooperages, to produce an elegant, age-worthy Pinot Noir with pure Oregon fruit and fine Old World structure. Each vintage is released only when Jay and Erni feel that it is ready to drink. THE 2008 VINTAGE Now legendary, 2008 was a nearly perfect vintage in Oregon. A long, cool growing season resulted in a small crop (about 20 percent below average) that benefited from long hang time — the ideal conditions for Pinot Noir. Beautiful weather during harvest allowed us to pick at optimal ripeness.

JAN MATTHIAS KLEIN Mosel, Germany
JAN MATTHIAS KLEIN Mosel, Germany Staffelter Hof first appears in texts from in 862 AD. At almost 1,200 years old, it is one of the oldest companies of any kind in the world. The vineyard holdings span 11.5ha (10.2ha planted) of diverse vineyards such as Paradies, Kirchlay, Letterlay, Steffensberg, and as far south as the Dhroner Hofberg. The winery itself is located in Kröv, a village in the heart of the middle Mosel on a sweeping 180⁰ curve of the river between the old, quiet winemaking villages of Wolf and Kinheim. This is not a hotbed of avant-garde creativity. Yet Jan Matthias Klein, a 7th generation winemaker at this estate, is doing something extraordinary here, crafting naturweine the likes of which have rarely been seen in the history of the Mosel. After stages in France, New Zealand, and Australia, Jan came home Müller-Thurgau “Sandersstruck” 2019 and steered his family’s winery into quixotic efforts of viticulture being 12/750ml explored by the younger generation in the Mosel.

Red Slate” Riesling Dry
DR. LOOSEN 2019 “Red Slate” Riesling Dry A well-balanced dry Riesling from estate vineyards that show the distinctively forceful minerality of red slate soils. This dry Riesling is produced with fruit from estate-owned vineyards in the red slate soils found in the contiguous Middle Mosel villages of Ürzig, Erden, Lösnich and Kinheim. Following the traditional methods of Ernst Loosen’s great-grandfather, Peter Loosen, this wine is fermented in 3,000-liter, neutral oak casks and kept on the full lees for 12 months. The extended lees contact stabilizes the wine naturally and gives it time to develop a harmonious balance. ABOUT DR. LOOSEN Dr. Loosen is one of the most highly acclaimed wine estates in the world. In the family for over 200 years, Ernst “Erni” Loosen assumed ownership in 1988 and quickly propelled the reputation of Dr. Loosen into the highest echelon of Germany’s finest producers. With a focus on the old, ungrafted vines the estate owns in some of the Mosel valley’s best-rated vineyards, the wines clearly express their cool-climate origins through environmentally sensitive viticulture, strict harvest selection and gentle cellar practices. THE 2019 VINTAGE Once again, extreme weather during the growing season gave us some headaches but, as always, Riesling proved its resilience by producing a range of highly aromatic and finely balanced wines in 2019. Generally dry conditions throughout spring and summer led to a lower-yielding crop, which was further reduced by the onset of botrytis late in the harvest. It is a fully ripe vintage, with vibrant aromatics and a pronounced acidity that gives brilliant structural precision to the wines.

Piesporter Michelsberg Qba Mosel, Germany
KARL JOSEF Piesporter Michelsberg QbA Mosel, Germany GRAPE VARIETIES 70% Müller-Thurgau, 30% Riesling VINIFICATION The picturesque Mosel river valley is one of the world’s great wine treasures. Many Mosel wines flirt with perfection, but the region’s true virtue is that nearly all its vineyards will produce distinctive, delicious Riesling if tended with care. The climate here is cold for wine grapes, but the Mosel has a few tricks that turn this liability into an asset: steep slopes, slate stone soils, and the river itself. Together these factors maximize the long, sunny growing season and provide just enough heat to slowly ripen grapes and develop Mosel Riesling’s unique character with stunning clarity. Moselland growers are scattered throughout the valley, and this provides the flexibility to produce compelling wines with consistency and quality in every vintage. Grapes are harvested separately, according to vineyard site, and must weight. Lots are vinified individually in small stainless-steel tanks under temperature control using selected yeast. The wine is stored in tank until bottling, so only the freshest wine is shipped to the market. ABOUT THE WINERY Karl Josef is produced by Moselland, a grower’s cooperative famous for producing premium quality wines at competitive prices. What is a grower’s cooperative, exactly? A cooperative is a group of wine grape growers who share their resources to produce, bottle, and market wine. Making wine independently requires investment and time that is practically beyond the means of most farmers. Cooperatives play an essential role by providing growers with access to economy of scale, a vocal role in production, and a fair share of profits.
