WINE DESCRIPTION
Fritz Haag Juffer Riesling trocken is slightly atypical for a wine from the Mosel. As a Grosses Gewachs wine, it must be dry in style. In contrast the Mosel is best known for sweeter style like Kabinett or Spatlese. If you have not tried the top Mosel dry wines, please do so as you will be missing out otherwise. Steep slopes and strong sun exposure result in peerlessly ripe fruit and huge concentration which counters the vibrant acidity of these cool climate wines. Highly complex with notes of candied citrus, stonefruit and even pineapple, this is a wine for true lovers of the Riesling grape who seek its finest expressions.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Fritz Haag Juffer Riesling trocken GG is immense in its level of concentration.On the palate it is dense and persistent with flavours of candied lemon peel, green apple, white peach, orange blossom and glacee pineapple. The medium bodied style still shows pinpoint balance with its vibrant acidity and a very long slately mineral finish. The quality of this wine is evident in its you but you really have to wait 8-10 years to see it begin to unfold and witness its full potential. Pair it with something bold like king crab legs with aromatic spices and drawn butter.
