Product Overview
The 2020 Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Spätlese is sourced from the Juffer vineyard which surrounds the smaller Juffer Sonnenuhr on three sides, extending both upstream and downstream, as well as above the sundial. This vineyard produces lighter, more delicate wines than the warmer, riper Sonnenuhr. This late-picked Spätlese has fine, forceful fruit in the aroma, a linear focus on the palate, and a pure slate finish. It's a great choice for spicy dishes with fresh flavors and a lively sweet/tart balance.
