Again, some inconsistency as we get into the heart of the Mittel Mosel.

Note that the Wegelers are 2022.

Fritz HAAG

2023 (Kesten) Paulinshofberg Riesling GG

Stony, medium-weight, perhaps a touch of sugar showing but it only helps to bring out the white fruit. Good length. 92/A

2023 (Brauneberg) Juffer Riesling GG

Some reduction in nose. Medium weight, good acidic backbone, energy, some white peach fruit that needs more time to open, but outstanding. 93/A

2023 (Brauneberg) Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling GG

Closed nose. Medium-light body, Juffer-Sonnenuhr acidity and depth, perhaps a little less energetic than usual, incipient white peach. 93/A
