Fritz Haag, Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Kabinett 2023

95 points James Suckling
"So elegant and refined in spite of the generous peach fruit, this has a freshness like the first days of spring as the first green grass and flowers appear. What a precise balance of racy acidity and floral delicacy this has on the pristine, light-bodied palate. Very focused and pure finish."

Jancis Robinson
"Grosse Lage.
Very pure, sprightly ‘mountain stream’ aromas. The sweetness is apparent but not dominant. Just the sort of wine that traditional Riesling lovers seek! Should have a long drinking window and it would be lovely with many spicy dishes or Thai food. Quite textural. Hint of apple juice – but very high-quality apple juice!. 18/20 points."

Vinous Reverie Notes
The historic Fritz Haag wine estate is located in the heart of the central Mosel River Valley. The earliest documentation of the estate dates back to 1605. At that time, the village in which it is situated was known as “Dusemond.” In 1925, this village was renamed “Brauneberg” (“brown mountain,” a reference to the color of the slate soil in this area of the Mosel) in an endeavour to further promote the reputation of its world-renowned vineyards “Brauneberger Juffer” and “Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr.” Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Kabinett - A selection of early-picked fruit from both the Juffer and Juffer Sonnenuhr vineyards, the Brauneberger Riesling Kabinett has a very fine, delicate structure and pure, enervating fruitiness that exemplifies the Fritz Haag style.
