Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr, Riesling, Grosses Gewächs, 2024
The Juffer Sonnenuhr GG routinely offers a little more roundness next to the Juffer, thanks to its slightly warmer exposure in the heart of the vineyard, old vines and a longer fermentation. Clear cut and classic in feel, not showy but silky and poised, as ever. Ageing is carried out in wood.
critic reviews
The 2024 Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Trocken GG is deep, refined and complex on the elegant and refined yet also intense and super expressive nose that pairs ripe fruit aromas with saline notes. Round and refined on the palate, this is a perfectly balanced, lush and textured but also crystalline and saline-finishing Juffer that is already super stimulating and digestible at this early stage. The attack is vibrantly fresh yet also very fine and elegant. This is a modern classic that nobody should miss. Eighty percent of the wine was fermented in fuder and just 20% in stainless steel. Bottled in August 2025 with 12% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in March 2026.
The 2024 Riesling Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Grosses Gewächs is from old vines between 30 and 80 years old, with some vines planted in the first decade of the last century. Density, serenity and subtlety stand out immediately. The nose is shy, but the palate has substance, stoniness and juiciness. Everything here is compact, with gorgeously racy acidity, fill and suppleness on a superbly contoured, stony body. The 2024 is wonderful, understated and serene. (Bone-dry)
