Learn More About This Wine

The Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr vineyard is the heart section in the Brauneberg vineyard mountain, close to the river and surrounded by the Juffer vineyard. In Burgundian terms the Juffer-Sonnenuhr is a kind of “Premier Grand Cru”. The vineyard was Thomas Jefferson’s favourite Mosel when he visited the area in 1788. The Brauneberg faces totally south and has got lots of iron minerals (‘brown mountain’) It enjoys world wide reputation.

“It offers a captivating and layered nose of apricot jelly, pineapple, rhubarbs, musk, minty herbs, sage and apricot. The wine proves ripe and slightly thick on the palate, yet the ripe acidity brings a lively and more Auslese-styled side to the wine. The finish is spicy and already vibrating, even though the residual sugar is still present and in need of integration. This is a great Auslese LGK-styled Riesling.”
