The 2020 Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese is based on ripe and predominantly healthy fruit with 15% to 20% of botrytis berries that are pretty prominent on the nose that reveals stewed fruit aromas but is also somewhat volatile and lacks the precision and freshness of the finest Auslesen. Entirely fermented in stainless steel, this is a pretty dry and structured Auslese made to be aged for about a decade. This should be an excellent gastronomic wine to be served with several dishes yet no desserts. 8% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted from AP 1621 in November 2021. ... More details

Intense fruit of ripe apricot and delicate honey, crystal clear and racy on palate, minerally structured, tastes single berries, long lasting aftertaste.

green grapes

Varietal: Riesling

The pale skinned fruits of the Riesling grapevine have been grown in and around Germany's Rhine Valley for centuries, and contributed much to the country's wine culture. Today, Riesling grapes are grown and processed in several countries around the world, where they are prized for their ability to grow well in colder climates, and their unique flavors and characteristics. Riesling grapes produce an impressive array of wines, including fine semi sweet and dessert wines, to excellent dry white wines and sparkling varieties, all which allow the grape to shine through as a premier example of an excellent white wine varietal. One of the things which makes Riesling such a special grape is the fact that it is highly 'terroir expressive', meaning that the features of the land it is grown on can come across well in the flavors and aromas in the wine. As such, it isn't unusual to find flavors of white stone, or smoky ash-like notes in a fine Riesling alongside the more usual orchard fruit flavors more commonly associated with good white wines.

Country: Germany

Much has changed over the past few decades in regards to German wine. Long gone are the days of mass produced, sickly sweet white wines which were once the chief exports of this fascinating and ancient wine producing country, and they have been replaced with something far more sophisticated. Whilst Germany continues to produce a relatively large amount of dessert wine, the wineries of the south of the country have reverted their attention to the production of drier, more elegant wines which really make the most of the fine grape varieties which flourish there. Many of the wineries dealing primarily with the excellent Riesling grapes have produced some truly exceptional dry and semi-sweet wines over the past few years, and it seems the world has finally woken up and noticed the extremely high quality of the distinctive produce coming out of Germany today.
