FRITZ HAAG BRAUNEBERGER JUFFER RIESLING SPATLESE 2015

Style: Spicy & Bright

¿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 Sonnenuhr¿ and |Brauneberg Juffer.¿ The 32-hectare Brauneberger Juffer lies on the opposite bank of the Mosel from our town and is planted to Riesling. Its loose, weathered blue Devonian slate soil contains veins of iron oxide that give individual layers of the stone a light brown hue. This composition is more than just the source of the ¿Brauneberg¿name; it also lends this unique terroir its typical characteristics. These steep vineyards, with gradients reaching up to 80%, give rise to delicate, finely fruity, and mineral wines. VINTAGE & VINE

Aged Spätlese is a thing of beauty, retaining freshness and fruit whilst enveloping characters of peach, nectarine and slate rock roll across the palate. These can spend many years in the cellar with ease. (off dry)
