| Description: | Tasting Notes\r\nInitial notes of earth and smoke blow off with aeration to reveal gorgeous layers of crisp nectarine, lemon and peach here. It's juicy and concentrated in fruit, yet bristles with acidity and a crystalline tang of minerality. The finish is long and delightfully sweet-tart. Enjoy now\u20132027\r\nAbout Fritz Haag\r\nThe 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 \u201cDusemond.\u201d In 1925, this village was renamed \u201cBrauneberg\u201d (\u201cbrown mountain,\u201d 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 \u201cBrauneberger Juffer\u201d and \u201cBrauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr.\u201d\r\nFor many years, the Fritz Haag wine estate was successfully headed by the endlessly energetic Wilhelm Haag, and achieved under his guidance a world-renowned reputation. Wilhelm Haag was the first to be named Gault Millau\u2019s \u201cWinemaker of the Year,\u201d a highly coveted accolade introduced in 1994. Since 2005, his son Oliver has taken over the reins and has followed his legendary father in leading the estate into the future.\r\nThe Fritz Haag estate produces wines that cover the full style spectrum, starting from a dry style and ranging to lusciously sweet. A mineral \u201cslate\u201d character and a pronounced and fruity acidity give the wines their sleek sophistication and their great aging potential. The estate\u2019s graceful, well-refined Rieslings are rated as impressive examples of the finest wines the Mosel region has to offer. |
