Wine Review: This pale straw-colored Riesling from Fritz Haag is a quaffer. It opens with a vinyl and apricot bouquet with hints of lychee, green apple, and lime. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, super smooth and fresh. The flavor profile is tasty lemon-lime and stone dust blend with notes of quince and light apricot. We also detected hints of pineapple, tangerine, and poached pear. The finish is pleasantly sweet and refreshing. The Tasting Panel would have this Riesling on its own. You can also enjoy this polished gem with a slice of angel food cake. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: An intensely fruity yet delicate Riesling from fully ripe grapes, made in the moderately sweet Spätlese style. The extremely steep Brauneberg hillside has been a revered vineyard site since the Romans first cultivated wine grapes in the Mosel valley in the second century AD. The Juffer Sonnenuhr ("Sundial") vineyard is the steepest and most south-facing part of the hillside. It produces profound, distinctive wines with great purity and concentration. Spätlese is the German term for “later picking,” where extra time on the vine brings greater concentration and depth of flavor
