2022 Fritz Haag Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling GG (Dry)
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 JamesSuckling.com, Stuart Pigott
"At once deep and charming this remarkable Mosel GG marries honeysuckle, vanilla bean and fresh herbal aromas with impressive structure and racy acidity on the extremely focused, sleek palate. What an exciting brilliance this has at the long laser beam straight finish. Drink or hold."
93-95/100 Vinous, Anne Krebiehl MW
"The 2022 Riesling Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Grosses Gewachs underwent a Flurbereinigung in 1988, and most vines are now 35 years old, while some parcels still have 80-year-old vines. This was fermented and aged in Fuder (1000 liter,) 2000 liter barrels and tonneau. The nose is rather closed, but the palate opens with citrus zest and rock dust. The palate is very slender, very pithy, austere, and all about stone with dialed- down fruit. There is slimness but absolute depth; it feels like liquid stone with its immense depth. Citrus makes for an austere finish. Definitely needs bottle age but will blossom. (Bone-dry). Drink 2025-2050"
