Fritz Haag Riesling Juffer Spatlese 2023

$3899

Fritz Haag is one of the great estates of the Middle Mosel, with documented history stretching back to 1605 and Oliver Haag now at the helm. The Brauneberger Juffer is one of the two great steep slate slopes of Brauneberg (the other being the more renowned Juffer Sonnenuhr), and at Spatlese level the fruit is picked later for added concentration and natural sweetness. Hand-harvested, gently pressed, spontaneously fermented and aged on the fine lees, this is fruity, off-dry Mosel Riesling in its most classical and ageworthy form.

"The 2023 Riesling Brauneberger Juffer Spätlese is initially shy on the nose and requires air to reveal its pale lemon scent with a hint of passionfruit. The palate offers slender, cool, bright freshness with a delightful lemon and passionfruit tartness that tingles and shimmers. Moving solely on tiptoe, this wine dances under your skin." —Anne Krebiehl

More about Fritz Haag

Fritz Haag's vineyards sit along the slopes of the Brauneberger hill and the vineyards of Juffer and Juffer Sonnenuhr. Brauneberger, named for the light brown slate that is the dominant soil type here, faces almost entirely south which makes it a bit easier to get fully ripe Riesling in the classically cold, wet Mosel. That has changed a bit recently of course, but this is still a prized site for wines that perfectly balance finesse and power, complexity and airy drinkability.

Like all the top Mosel producers, Fritz Haag produces a range of wines including some very rich, late harvest dessert wines. These wines put the region on the map for luxury wine in the 17 and 1800s, making some Mosel Riesling more pricey and coveted than first growth Bordeaux. But in truth the wines that the locals drank, especially in the summer, were generally off dry to completely bone dry.
