2022 Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Auslese
Grape
Riesling (RS 90 g/l)
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 JamesSuckling.com, Stuart Pigott
“Super-floral and super-fine with a mountain stream freshness balancing the delicately tropical fruit, the floral honey sweetness underlying all this beautifully. Very long filigree finish with so much spicy subtlety. Very good aging potential. Drink or hold.”
95/100 Vinous, Anne Krebiehl MW
"The 2022 Riesling Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Auslese was made without any botrytis-affected grapes. Its exquisite nose unites passion fruit, lime and candied lemon. The palate is clear-cut with the sharpest acidity: a high-wire act between thrill and richness. Achieving this concentration without botrytis is exceptional. Incredibly fine, utterly concentrated, very elegant. The finish rings with peppery passion fruit and wonderful citrus. (Sweet). Drink 2025-2060"
17/20 Jancis Robinson MW
"Very bumptious pure fruit. Nowhere else in the world makes this sort of wine! Great stuff. Great tension and purity. RS 90 g/l. AP number 06 23." Drink 2023 - 2038
