Brauneberger Juffer Spätlese Riesling

Very pretty. Balanced. Plush apple and white flowers

Another lovely vintage.

2017 vintage. Already showing tertiary petrol and plantain notes. White peach, dried apricot, lime zest, honeysuckle, tostones (fried plantain), green apple skin, mango. Lots of complexity and length.

2009 vintage. Pale gold. Smells intensely like, well, Riesling. Very mineral, combined with flowers and honey. Cristal-clear crispy fruit, the residual Auslese-like sugar beautifully balanced with mouth-watering bright acidity. The intensity and length of these wines is amazing with such low alcohol (abv. 7,5%). Still very young as these wines can age forever. Another great effort from this top producer.

Does the world need one more glorious review of residual sugar? Trick question it needs many. This wine gives medium-dry (for the WSET crowd), or semisweet wine a jolly good name. It has that petrol-y stank then airs out and peach Melba jams up. All with an undercurrent of gaseous mineral and—okay we need find new word for mouth-watering—acid. What am I supposed to say, mouth-filling-up-with-saliva acidity? Refreshing? It’s not exactly. Punctilious acidity? That doesn’t even really make sense but it sort of does. Your mouth will water promptly. The petrol notes are pretty hitting so give it some time unless like me you love that stink. Sweet tangerine juice is the ocean all this chaos floats on. It’s very good.

Very pretty nose. Sweet with some petrol notes, honeysuckle. On the palate poised and pretty. Sweet. Young but very balanced.

Delightful

Stones. Baked apple. Rich.
