Wine Review: This clear colored Riesling from Fritz Haag opens with a faint pear and lychee bouquet with hints of petrol and lemongrass. On the palate, this wine is light plus bodied with integrated plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, fresh, and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a tasty lemon-lime and green tea blend with notes of candied ginger and kiwi. We also detected hints of white pepper, pear, and faint pineapple. The finish is pleasantly sweet and its flavors and acidity drift away nicely. We would drink this delicate Riesling on its own as dessert. With food try it with oysters on the half shell or with pad Thai. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: A highly aromatic, late-picked Riesling with an intensely elegant mineral structure balancing moderate sweetness. The extremely steep Brauneberg hillside is an isolated, south-facing slope that is one of the drier vineyards in the area, a great advantage in this wet, northern climate. The Juffer vineyard surrounds the smaller Juffer Sonnenuhr on three sides and produces a somewhat lighter, more delicate style of wine. The late-picked Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Spätlese has fine, forceful fruit in the aroma, a linear focus on the palate and a pure slate finish.
