2023 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
96/100 James Suckling, Stuart Pigott
“The floral finesse and the minerally power of this great Mosel Spatlese are complemented by a wonderful Amalfi lemon and lime zest freshness that lights up the sky. The grape sweetness is so beautifully interwoven in all this. Extremely long and filigreed finish. Drink or hold.”
95/100 Vinous, Anne Krebiehl MW
“The 2023 Riesling Brauneberger Juer Sonnenuhr Spätlese opens with a smoky aspect followed by tangerine vivaciousness. This aromatic notion of tangerine peel plunges into sweetness, lling the senses and expanding with sweet freshness. Lovely balance, lovely verve, beautiful nerve.” Drink 2026 - 2060
17.5/20 Jancis Robinson MW
"Grosse Lage. Cask sample. Very juicy indeed! This is baked apples and quite flattering." Drink 2027 - 2040
