2021 | Fritz Haag | Juffer Sonnenuhr GG Riesling Trocken

The fruit aromas are delicate and playful with aromas of ripe apples, melon and grapefruit. There is also a slightly mild and warming taste of honey and hay. Then the gripping minerality on the tongue , which inspires you in a refreshing and invigorating way. You can also taste other aromas of orange and lime on the palate.

Reviews:

• Decanter: The quintessence of Mosel Riesling that combines lightness with intensity. A leaner style than the last vintages, but with a lot of finesse and depth. Oliver Haag has given the Riesling a fine polish and a lot of substance through a long time on the lees. The aroma spectrum ranges from preserved lemons, through lemon zest to kitchen herbs. Spirited acidity leads the long finish.

• James Suckling: This sleek and tightly wound Mosel GG has very finely chiselled features. Stunningly delicate stone fruits aromas slowly climb out of the glass. What a beautiful texture this very gentle giant has. Fascinating finesse at the very long graceful finish.

Producer Information

Fritz Haag is a wine producer located in Brauneberg in on the Mosel river. It produces a complete range of wines made from Riesling, from dry expressions to luscious botrytised wines. The well-known Erste Lage vineyards Brauneberger Juffer and Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr are synonymous with Fritz Haag, which is also known by the name Dusemonder Hof. In total, vineyard holdings cover 19 hectares (46 acres), and the vines are planted on Devonian slate soils on slopes of up to 80 degrees. This terroir is well-suited to Riesling, providing a cool, well-drained environment that allows for full ripening without sacrificing acidity. As a result, Fritz Haag wines are intense and balanced, and many of the top examples can be aged for decades. Today, Fritz Haag is headed by Oliver Haag who took over in 2005 after training at well-known estates such as Weingut Dönnhoff in the Nahe and Weingut Karthäuserhof in the Ruwer. Fritz Haag is a member of the VDP and produces a range of Prädikatswein with various sweetness levels..
