2022 Fritz Haag Brauneburger Juffer Sonnenuhr Spatlese
Grape
Riesling
Its Origins
The Haag family has been in wine for just a little while - since 1605, to be precise - and over that time they have been instrumental in the development of Brauneberger, an area that has been recognised as one of the Mosel’s best since the sixth century. At the helm today is the youthful Oliver Haag, whose father Wilhelm (son of Fritz) became recognised as a Riesling world leader, awarded the deceptively simple title of Winegrower of the Year in 1994. Oliver himself has at his back a full oenological training as well as extensive experience with a number of leading Riesling producers. With results so superb they effectively define a modern classic style of Mosel Riesling, it seems clear that the Haag family’s future in wine may be as sure as it’s past.
What The Critics Say
95/100 Vinous, Anne Krebiehl MW
"The 2022 Riesling Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Spatlese opens with an airy, stony aspect, followed by lime and peach in a tart-sweet double- act that is totally mouth-watering. The distinctly sweet palate is enticingly edged with that lime acidity. The palate remains slender, taut, absolutely streamlined and very fine. Concentrated, citric, heightened, thrilling. (Sweet). Drink 2025-2060"
94/100 JamesSuckling.com, Stuart Pigott
“This has the floral and vanilla bean aromas we associate with this great site for riesling Spatlese wines. Wonderfully vibrant and slatey acidity. Excellent balance, the sweetness easily harmonized by the Amalfi lemon freshness at the very clean, long finish. Drink or hold.”
16.5/20 Jancis Robinson MW
