The 2023 Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer Kabinett is a classic Mosel Riesling from one of the region’s most historic steep slate vineyards. Made from early-picked fruit in the traditional low-alcohol Kabinett style, it showcases delicacy, precision and vibrant minerality — hallmarks of the Fritz Haag house style.
The nose is lifted and aromatic, showing citrus, green apple and white peach, layered with floral notes, slate minerality and a touch of spice. Subtle hints of lime, ginger and floral perfume add complexity, giving it a fresh and energetic profile.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with bright acidity and a finely balanced touch of sweetness. Flavours of lemon, orchard fruit and mineral notes are supported by a sleek, linear structure, leading to a long, precise and refreshing finish. The style is delicate yet intense, with excellent balance between acidity and residual sugar, making it both highly drinkable and age-worthy.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a textbook Mosel Kabinett that we position as one of the best introductions to German Riesling. Compared to dry Riesling (GG), it’s lighter, more playful and slightly off-dry, while still delivering precision and minerality. It’s ideal for customers who want something refreshing with a touch of sweetness. This is not a heavy wine — it’s about elegance, balance and drinkability. Drink now for vibrancy or cellar for 10–20+ years. Perfect with spicy Asian cuisine, seafood, sashimi or light dishes.
