2022 Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Kabinett, Mosel Germany
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. The Brauneberg (“brown mountain,” a reference to the color of the slate soil in this area of the Mosel) is an isolated, south-facing hill that is one of the drier vineyards in the area, a great advantage in this wet,
northern climate. Brauneberger Riesling Kabinett has a very fine, delicate structure and pure, enervating fruitiness that exemplifies the Fritz Haag style. Aromatically the wine is bright and fruit focused, with ripe, crunchy orchard fruit scents as well as a hint of minerality. On the palate the wine is delightfully juicy, with notes of white peaches, honeysuckle, and a ending note of acidity.
