Description:
It would have been difficult to achieve the standard of 2012, but Oliver Haag has done everything to get as close as possible. The herbaceous expression of spontaneous fermentation seems a little more pronounced and the fruit content not quite as expressive, but when it comes to substance and extract the Juffer cannot be faulted. A hint of butterscotch, coupled with an almost creamy texture, demonstrates that every little bit of late autumn sun has been pressed into service. Michael Schmidt
Winery:
Fritz Haag
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 a slope 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 many years. 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.
