The 2022 Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr GG is one of the finest dry Rieslings from the Mosel, sourced from the steepest and most sun-exposed section of this iconic Grand Cru (Grosse Lage) vineyard. With old vines — some exceeding 70–100 years — it delivers both concentration and finesse, representing the pinnacle of the estate’s dry style.
The nose is intensely refined and mineral-driven, showing ripe peach, citrus and pear, layered with flinty slate, herbal notes and subtle mocha or spice nuances. There is a cool, precise aromatic profile, combining ripeness with a strong sense of terroir expression.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a sleek, structured and powerful core. Stone fruit, citrus and phenolic depth are supported by vibrant acidity and a pronounced saline minerality, leading to a long, precise and tightly wound finish. The 2022 vintage shows both density and finesse, with a more introverted, age-worthy profile that will evolve beautifully over time.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is one of the most serious Mosel GG Rieslings we offer — a true Grand Cru-level wine that we position alongside top white Burgundy in terms of quality and ageing potential. Compared to the regular Juffer GG, Sonnenuhr is deeper, more powerful and more mineral-driven. It’s ideal for customers who appreciate precision, structure and terroir expression over fruitiness. This is not an easy-drinking Riesling — it’s a wine of tension, depth and longevity. Best from 2026 onwards or with decanting now, and can cellar for 15–25+ years. Perfect with oysters, seafood, sashimi or refined fine dining.
