2023 Fritz Haag Juffer 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
96/100 James Suckling, Stuart Pigott
“Very youthful on the nose, the pear and quince aromas slowly opening up as the wine aerates. Enormous power and stony depth on the concentrated, compact but extremely bright medium-bodied palate. Wonderful forest floor and wet stone complexity in the very long finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.”
94/100 Vinous, Anne Krebiehl MW
"The 2023 Riesling Brauneberger Juffer Grosses Gewächs surrounds the Sonnenuhr, taking in the whole slope from top to bottom. Aromatic citrus trumps the slight reduction on the nose with a teasing suspicion of grapefruit among the ripe lemon. The palate is juicy and vivid with a scented, almost creamy citrus brightness. Really fine, almost weightless and totally joyful. Rounded ripeness of aroma denes this in all its slenderness." Drink 2026 - 2056
17+/20 Jancis Robinson, Paula Sidore
"Filigreed touch of lemon curd. Equal parts racy and refined, with a deep, creamy concentration. Elegant phenolics, nuanced and long. A serious Riesling, still deep in its REM sleep, with much power and potential ahead." Drink 2025 - 2036
