  • About the Producer

    There are no German wines more elegant than those of Weingut Fritz Haag*. They do not shout and are often overlooked in favour of more showy bottles, but for balance, finesse and subtlety they are hard to beat. The great Juffer vineyard in Brauneberg, one of the few designated grand cru by edict of Napoleon in 1804, has everything to do with it, of course. Its characteristic subtle floral notes and tensile mineral strength are an excellent foil for the estate’s style, but none of the several owners can quite match what Fritz Haag does there*. With a pedigree like this, it’s no surprise that the wines have a fantastic ability to age.

    The estate owes its greatness to Wilhelm Haag, who started in the late 1950s, crafting beautiful wines from the Juffer, and its heart, the Juffer-Sonnenuhr, where vines are clustered on a dauntingly steep and rocky slope around the sundial. While his older son Thomas bought the defunct Schloss Lieser, turning it into one of the Mosel’s great success stories, his younger son Oliver took over the family estate in 2005. We can speculate that competition between the two has driven them both into the ranks of the very best winemakers in Germany. While Thomas’ wines are about energy, precision and character, Oliver’s wines have an understated subtlety that becomes increasingly apparent as the wines age.

    Oliver is constantly improving his vineyard sites: in 2021 three-quarters of a hectare of lesser vineyards was sold off and exchanged for better ones. In recent years there has been more focus on dry wines. An afterthought in the past, they now command the best grapes from the best sites and can take their place amongst the finest trockens in Germany.

    *with the honourable exception of Schloss Lieser, a chip off the old block.

  • About the Latest Vintage

    ‘This was a classic Mosel year, with little sunlight and lots of rain. So we had to revert to the methods of the past to compensate, which principally meant reducing yields to allow the vines to ripen and give balanced wines,’ said Oliver. The strategy has worked – these are some of the most seductive and harmonious wines we have tried here for years.

    Poor flowering and strong disease pressure in the rainy growing season already meant a natural loss of around 30%, but Oliver went even further in his quest for ripeness, with a green harvest and strict selection. Fine weather in September and early October helped, but when the harvest began on 6th October in the Juffer, he did not hold out much hope for a decent vintage. It finished on 10th November in Kesten, and he was amazed at the results: balanced, delicate wines with density and purity, perfectly reflecting their terroirs.
