Fritz Haag Juffer Riesling Trocken GG 2017

Picked in one passage after mid-October, the 2015 Brauneberg Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Trocken GG is very clear, deep and mineral on the aromatic nose; there are ripe Riesling and concentrated lemon aromas intermixed with crushed stone flavors. Macerated for three to 12 hours, fermented and aged in stainless steel oak fuder (50/50), this silky textured and very elegant Riesling cru is full-bodied, round and well structured. It reveals a delicate, mineral freshness with a lingering salinity and a fine (tannin) grip. Still young, this Sonnenuhr will surely benefit from further bottle aging.

Unctuous and very spicy, with ripe flavors of apple, pear and quince that are loaded with richness. Slightly honeyed notes show midpalate, leading to a lush finish that lingers with cream and savory herbal accents.
