Brauneberger Juffer, Riesling, Grosses Gewächs, 2022
Whispers of the Juffer. What a wonderful, effortless feel. There is a delicate intensity here which sits on the fulcrum of fulsome fruits and a river-like purity. Animated, full of life, the 2022 Juffer GG swings with pronounced violet, citrus and lavender notes, which are all kept in check by a sophisticated reduction that draws the taster in. Aging is carried out in German fuder.
critic reviews
The 2022 Riesling Brauneberger Juffer Grosses Gewächs site frames the Sonnenuhr and thus spans the slope from the river to the top. The shy nose has the merest sheen of citrus with just a glimpse of peach. The austere palate is stony and textured, first showing pith. Serene juiciness follows, still tightly coiled, with a touch of salty savoriness. Gradually, the palate becomes creamier, wonderfully serene and harmonious. Somehow, this seems naked; its tightness seems to relax in order to show inherent elegance. Exquisite. (Bone-dry)
