Brauneberger Juffer, Riesling, Feinherb, 2024
A seriously good, juicy wine at the level of GG (designated Grosse Lage), full of slate and salts, ballasted with enough concentration to support real upward development. Fermented half in steel and half in wood, it began its life as a potential GG but stopped at an effortlessly well-balanced 12g/l residual sugar.
critic reviews
The 2024 Riesling Brauneberger Juffer feinherb was made to GG standards but not fermented to dryness. Gentle smoke and slate wrap their way around the ripest white peach aroma. The result is seductive and bright on the nose. The palate has density, compactness, fill and gorgeous buffering that carries zingy, zesty lemon on layers of stone. Lightness, brightness and freshness are supreme here. It is simply wonderful. This is luminous in 2024. (Dry)
