2023 Fritz Haag Riesling

Flinty and minerally with a long zingy finish.

The Fritz Haag estate is located in the heart of the central Mosel River Valley and has a history dating back to 1605. All 18.5ha of vineyards are planted to Riesling, the excellent micro-climate and deep slate soils of the Brauneberger Juffer slope forming the basis for some of the most intensely flavoured and elegantly-structured Rieslings in Mosel. This wine comes from the blue slate soils of the steep slope sites of the villages of Brauneberg and Mulheim.
Brilliant very pale straw colour with gleaming green tinged edges and a watery hue. Jumping from the glass are aromas of lime zest, lemon and mandarin followed by whiffs of orange blossom, wet steel and flinty mineral notes. Crunchy lime, lemon and mandarin fruits are underpinned by laser etched acidity. Traces of honeysuckle are also apparent. Very flinty and minerally, it has a long zingy finish.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
