Its Origins
The Haag family has been in wine for just a little while – since 1605, to be precise – and over that time they have been instrumental in the development of Brauneberger, an area that has been recognised as one of the Mosel’s best since the sixth century. At the helm today is the youthful Oliver Haag, whose father Wilhelm (son of Fritz) became recognised as a Riesling world leader, awarded the deceptively simple title of Winegrower of the Year in 1994. Oliver himself has at his back a full oenological training as well as extensive experience with a number of leading Riesling producers. With results so superb they effectively define a modern classic style of Mosel Riesling, it seems clear that the Haag family’s future in wine may be as sure as it’s past.
Classic green Riesling bottle, traditional label, golden yellow colour, citrusy and stony nose with flowers. Substantial, almost oily yet refreshing palate, with tingling acidity. Alongside the citrus fruit, there’s ripe peach and a long, mineral finish.
