Ernst Loosen

Ernst Loosen is a German winemaker and owner of the wine producer Weingut Dr.

With over 130,000 annual bottle production, he is one of the larger producers in the Mosel region.

Now known as Villa Wolf, there he produces Riesling in the style of the Rhine Valley, as well as the several Pinot varieties that are traditional in that area.

Later in 2010 Ernst acquired a 40 acre property in the Chehalem Mountains AVA, in Oregon's Northern Willamette Valley where he would partner with J Christopher Wines and constructed the J Christopher Winery and the adjoining Appassionata Vineyard.

Over the last decade, J. Christopher has earned international acclaim and was named a Wine & Spirits World Top 100 Winery in 2017.
