2021 | Fritz Haag | Juffer GG Riesling Trocken

Great fruit aromas such as red grapefruit, fresh quinces, apples and apricots. The full-bodied taste is always tamed by a fine minerality. In addition, there is a lightness that allows for complexity and opulence as well as elegance and profundity. Spicy until the long finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2021 Brauneberg Riesling Trocken "J" is from the Juffer and Juffer-Sonnenuhr and opens with a clear and intense nose of ripe fruits. Partly fermented in large oak, the 2021 "J" is lush, round and pure, very elegant and stimulatingly savory. It's bone dry but structured and asking for patience.

• James Suckling: Here is the combination of dark minerality and elegance that we associate with the top sites of Brauneberg. Impressive concentration on the mid-palate for just 12% alcohol, with a wide spectrum of fresh herb and bergamot aromas. Long well-structured finish. Drink or hold.

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..
