Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Auslese 2021

A great year for connoisseurs who favour cooler racier Ausleses. Indeed the Juffer and Juffer Sonnenuhr are better suited to savoury dishes over desserts. Bright and clear, with fresh mint, plum, lime, lemon zest and tropical notes. Linear and precise, with great purity and drive. Sleek, with a hint of tempering silk. Needs time. Give it time. Waters Wine Co

 

Quite closed, very cool and restrained, this has a very complex nose of crisp pear, fresh herbs with touches of rhubarb and passion fruit. Serious tension between mineral acidity and delicate fruit on the super-clean palate. Long precise and pristine finish. Limited production. Drink or hold. 95 points James Suckling

 

The 2021 Juffer Auslese is super clear and flinty on the beautifully reductive and precisely aromatic nose. Lush yet refined and crystalline on the palate, this is an intense, round and juicy, very elegant and mouth-watering Auslese with delicate lemon bitters on the finish. Excellent. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022. 94 points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
