The historic Fritz Haag wine estate is located in the heart of the central Mosel River Valley. The earliest documentation of the estate dates back to 1605. At that time, the village in which it is situated was known as ‘Dusemond.’ In 1925, this village was renamed ‘Brauneberg’ (‘brown mountain,’ a reference to the colour of the slate soil in this area of the Mosel) in an endeavour to further promote the reputation of its world-renowned vineyards ‘Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr’ and ‘Brauneberger Juffer.

Naturally sweet Kabinett, as only Mosel can do. Lithe and lovely with just a dash of spice and a bewitching sweetness, balanced with crystalline fruits. Marked with a distinctive smokiness that tells the story of the slate slopes in which it was grown. Fermented in stainless steel, to promote clarity and precision.

What a beautiful classic this is. Very filigree, with the subtle aromas of peach, honeysuckle and vanilla bean that belong to this great vineyard site. Glides over the palate into the finish that’s at once enormously refreshing and very silky. Limited production. Drink or hold. Date: Sept 2022; Rating: 95 Points; Stuart Pigott; James Suckling
