  • 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. With a pedigree like this, it’s no surprise that the wines have a fantastic ability to age.

    The great Juffer vineyard in Brauneberg, one of the few designated as ‘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*.

    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 the Mosel’s great success story, 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 very best winemakers in Germany. Whilst Thomas’ wines are about energy, precision and character, Oliver’s wines have an understated subtlety that becomes increasingly apparent as the wines age.  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

    The Juffer is a dry site, but the estate’s vines are now of sufficient age not to be adversely affected by the rainless summer. Oliver has also sown a cover crop, which is better at absorbing heavy rain, a sensible decision in 2019 when most moisture over the growing season came via thunderstorms, which quickly wash off bare soils. Although he suffered almost no losses from sunburn, Oliver was pessimistic by the end of August: vines were threatening to shut down for lack of water, and ripening slowed. But then a steady stream of rainy days came to the rescue. Ripening sped up, and harvest began on 17th September. Towards the end of the month botrytis began to appear, allowing production of some stunning dessert wines.

    The high yields of 2018 left the vines in need of time to recover, so yields are down considerably. But for Oliver Haag this is a great year. The wines are a model of balance, freshness and typicity.
