About the Winery / Producer / Region
Fritz Haag is one of the great names of the Mosel, based in the village of Brauneberg and renowned for Rieslings of precision, purity and longevity. The estate works with steep, slate rich vineyards that give the wines their distinctive mineral drive and fine acid line. The broader Fritz Haag range spans dry, off dry and sweet styles, but always with clarity, elegance and classic Mosel finesse at the centre.
Cellaring Potential
Drinking beautifully now for its citrus brightness and mineral drive, with enough acidity and structure to cellar well over the next 4 to 5 years.
