| Verdict | Loosen Bros. ferments Mosel Riesling, then removes the alcohol by vacuum distillation. The US bottle reads under 0.5% ABV; the importer sheet prints 0.0% vol. | Green apple, pear, peach, and citrus over lively acidity — slight sweetness, mineral finish, fresh and clean. |

| Likeness | Recognizably Mosel in the aroma: lime zest, green apple, and a cool slate line before the palate arrives. The acid holds an off-dry body that is lighter than Dr. L. The likeness is that line, not the weight of a full Kabinett. | Good: recognizably Riesling — orchard fruit, acid, and a mineral edge; sweetness is present but controlled. |
