92 JG "I quite liked the Fritz Haag auction SpÀtlese this year, for though the wine was a tad bigger and riper than is normal for this PrÀdikat level, it retains its transparency and sense of delicacy at this slightly larger scale. The bouquet offers up a fine blend of apple, pear, white cherries, minerals and lime blossom. On the palate the wine is fullish for SpÀtlese, but fresh and beautifully bright, with sound acids, excellent focus, and impressive length on the soil-driven finish. Lovely wine."

The spiritual home of Riesling, producing wines of piercing acidity, precision and longevity across a spectrum from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. Cool, steep-sloped vineyards along the Mosel and Rhine yield some of the world's most delicate, long-lived whites.
Germany's most celebrated Riesling region, its steep slate slopes above the river yielding featherlight, low-alcohol wines of electric acidity, delicacy and extraordinary longevity.
The appellation for Germany's most celebrated Riesling, its steep slate slopes yielding light, low-alcohol wines of electric acidity and extraordinary longevity.
A highly aromatic white of piercing acidity and transparency to terroir, ranging from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. It ages remarkably and is the noble grape of Germany and Alsace.
