2021 Fritz Haag Juffer Riesling Dry GG Top Scores JS93 WE93 WA92

Experience the pinnacle of Mosel craftsmanship with Fritz Haag’s 2021 Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Trocken. This critically acclaimed dry German Riesling (93pts James Suckling, 93pts Wine Enthusiast, 92pts Wine Advocate) masterfully expresses the legendary Brauneberg terroir.

Crafted from prime Juffer and Juffer-Sonnenuhr vineyards, this elegant white wine surprises with its remarkable concentration despite a modest 12% ABV. Anticipate a sophisticated aromatic dance: vibrant notes of fresh herbs and bergamot zest intertwine with layers of ripe apple, subtle pastry cream, candied orange peel, and tropical pineapple nuances. Cardamom and tamarind hints add intriguing complexity.

On the palate, discover a beautifully sleek yet powerful structure. A vibrant backbone of crisp acidity provides exceptional balance and drive, leading to a remarkably long, well-defined finish marked by distinctive salty-stony minerality – a true signature of its prestigious origins. Partial fermentation in large oak casks contributes to its lush texture and savory depth without overpowering its pure fruit expression.

This age-worthy dry Riesling offers immediate enjoyment but possesses the intensity and structure to evolve gracefully. Experts recommend cellaring until at least 2025 for further development. Perfect for discerning enthusiasts seeking a complex, food-friendly white wine that pairs superbly with seafood, poultry, or creamy cheeses.
