Could Eroica be the beginning of the Riesling Renaissance many wine lovers believe is long overdue? Named after Beethoven's masterpiece, the winemaking partnership between famed Mosel winemaker Ernst Loosen and Chateau Ste. Michelle enjoyed a standing ovation at the August 2000 debut of the 1999 vintage. The partnership is dedicated to exploring a wide range of Riesling styles with grapes from the Columbia Valley.The estate of Dr. Loosen owns some of the most renowned sites on the Mosel in Wehlen, Urzig and Erden and is acclaimed as one of Germany's most consistent quality producers across a range of styles, from dry to sweet.
Following the success of the Eroica venture, Chateau Ste. Michelle is proud to introduce Saint M Riesling, a classic German Riesling made by Dr. Loosen. Saint M Riesling is crafted in a traditional medium-dry style with lower alcohol and crisp acidity. To learn more about this wine, visit the Saint M web site.
