The 2023 Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer Grosse Lage Feinherb is a top-tier Mosel Riesling sourced from the steep, south-facing slate slopes of the renowned Juffer vineyard. As a Grosse Lage wine made in a feinherb (off-dry) style, it combines Grand Cru-level concentration with a delicate balance of fruit and freshness.
The nose is lifted and complex, showing citrus, white peach and pear, layered with floral notes, slate minerality and a subtle smoky reduction. Aromatics are precise and expressive, with a clear sense of terroir and mineral depth.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a fine, linear structure and vibrant acidity. Flavours of tangerine, grapefruit and orchard fruit are supported by a saline, mineral backbone and a touch of residual sweetness, creating a harmonious and “weightless” texture. The finish is long, stony and elegant, combining energy with finesse and ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout Mosel Riesling that we position as a “fine wine alternative to both dry GG and sweeter styles.” The feinherb balance makes it incredibly versatile — more approachable than trocken GG, but more precise and structured than sweeter Kabinett or Spätlese. It’s ideal for customers who want freshness with a touch of softness. Drink now for vibrancy or cellar for 10–20+ years. Perfect with seafood, spicy Asian cuisine, sashimi or lightly spiced dishes.
