The 2022 Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer GG is a top-tier dry Riesling from the Mosel, sourced from the steep, south-facing Devonian slate slopes of the historic Brauneberger Juffer vineyard. As a Grosses Gewächs (GG), it represents the highest classification for dry German Riesling, combining concentration, minerality and precision.
The nose is refined and lifted, showing white peach, pear and citrus, layered with herbal nuances, floral notes and a distinctive wet slate minerality. There is a clear aromatic purity, with both fruit and terroir elements tightly interwoven.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a sleek, linear structure and vibrant acidity. Flavours of citrus zest, green apple and flint are supported by a strong mineral backbone, leading to a long, taut and saline finish. The 2022 vintage shows both elegance and underlying power, with depth carried through by acidity and structure, giving it excellent ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a benchmark Mosel GG Riesling that we position as a “fine wine alternative to white Burgundy.” Compared to richer Chardonnay, this is more linear, mineral and tension-driven, with a focus on precision rather than weight. It’s ideal for customers who enjoy high-end Riesling or want to explore top German dry wines. The 2022 vintage offers a great balance between approachability and structure — drink with decanting now or cellar for 10–20+ years. Perfect with oysters, seafood, sashimi or refined Asian cuisine.
