Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Kabinett 2022

Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Kabinett is a low-alcohol Mosel Riesling with fermentation stopped well short of dryness.

The Juffer is a large, steep, south-facing slope above Brauneberg, planted on grey Devonian slate that the Romans and later the Prussian tax assessors both rated among the finest ground on the river. Fritz Haag farms old, largely ungrafted vines here and picks in successive passes, reserving the lightest and most delicate musts for Kabinett. The juice ferments slowly and cool in stainless steel with ambient yeasts, and fermentation is arrested while 45 grams per litre of sugar remain, giving a wine of very modest alcohol in which sweetness is carried by high slate-driven acidity rather than weight. The bottles are closed with stelvin to protect the freshness.

Delicate and sweet-tart rather than rich, it suits Thai and Vietnamese dishes, cured ham and fresh fruit; serve at 8 to 10 degrees.
