Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Spätlese Riesling

Lovely petrol and soft yellow fruit. Peaches and lime. Opening up in the glass with gorgeous tropical notes. A lovely soft balanced finish excellent

A but reticent in the nose. A but could. Lovely mouthfeel.

2007: hints of petrol, matured apples and honey.. still very balanced and acidity.. love it..

Superb balance of savory, floral and fruity elements, acid and texture! Hitting all those notes. Nose has a hint of petrol and floral character and then the palate is major fruit; yellow raspberries, gooseberry, apple, jasmine, clover honey, hay, custard. Brisk fruit snaps into savory acid and a long finish. And the texture is silky; more weight than many a Mosel Riesling in this price range. So good!

This has another 10years to go. Paired with Chicken & waffles, syrup + hot sauce. Perfect pairing!

Apples and stones.

Excellent example of aged Riesling! Great sugar/acid balance, with richness and texture, fruit flavors, and development. ❤️

Love these wines. Touch of CO2, hint of reduction. Sonnenheur is a sundial in the center of Juffer, planted at an 85 degree angle above the ville of Brauneberger. The village was renamed in the 1700’s to reflect the brown slate soil of the hill that dominates the landscape. The vineyard was planted in the 1600’s and largely managed and run by 3 “spinster” sisters until the Haag family started farming it in the 1700’s.

Everything you could want in an older Spatlese.

Yummy!
