This offering is a collector's dream: a perfectly preserved original 3-bottle case of the profound 2010 Trockenbeerenauslese from Fritz Haag, one of the Mosel's oldest and most prestigious estates. Hailing from the peerless Brauneberger Juffer single-vineyard, this is a wine of legendary concentration, elevated by the vintage's signature, spine-tingling acidity.

The Estate, The Legacy, and VDP Prestige
- Historic Pedigree: Weingut Fritz Haag has crafted world-class Riesling since 1605 in the village of Brauneberg. The steep, slate-covered slopes of the Juffer and Juffer Sonnenuhr are globally recognized as VDP.GROSSE LAGE sites, producing wines with unparalleled elegance, slate character, and mineral purity.
- The Haag Dynasty: The estate is currently led by Oliver Haag, who continues the uncompromising dedication to quality instilled by his father.
- Wilhelm Haag's Role: Oliver’s father, the late Wilhelm Haag, was a titan of German wine, serving as the chairman of the Mosel VDP (Grosser Ring) for twenty years. He is widely credited as a "Father of the Renaissance of German Wine," whose insistence on tradition, rigorous quality guidelines, and promotion of fine German Riesling abroad elevated the Mosel’s reputation worldwide. The wines you bid on today are a direct product of this philosophy.
- VDP Commitment: Fritz Haag is a proud member of the VDP (Association of German Prädikat Wine Estates), an elite organization committed to terroir-driven viticulture and strict quality standards, symbolized by the VDP Eagle on the capsule.

The 2010 Vintage: Purity and Precision
The 2010 vintage in the Mosel was a challenging year of low yields but immense reward, producing wines defined by crystalline fruit, intense minerality, and electric, vibrant acidity. For Trockenbeerenauslese, this acidity is the key to immortality:
- Vintage Style: Leaner, purer, and more precise than richer vintages, showcasing a taut play between fruit and slate.
- The Result: Wines that are rich in extract, flavor, and promise decades of cellar life. Many critics hailed the sweet wines of 2010, particularly the Auslese and higher Prädikats, as being immensely successful due to this brilliant balance.

Wine Profile and Critic Recognition
Fritz Haag 2010 Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese
- Prädikat: Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA) – The highest Prädikat level, made from individually-selected, shriveled grapes affected by noble rot (Botrytis), resulting in wines of extreme concentration and rarity.
- Tasting Note: Expect a kaleidoscope of tropical and dried fruit—apricot, fig, pineapple, and candied citrus—interwoven with floral honey and exotic spice. The palate is opulent and viscous, yet the piercing acidity provides stunning lift and balance, culminating in a finish of endless length and slate-driven purity.
- Robert Parker (Wine Advocate): 97 points – “An especially polished, oleaginously glycerin-rich texture, allying near-implosive concentration of bright fresh citrus, apple jelly, and pit fruit essences with noble rot nuances—white truffle, honey, cinnamon, ginger—and saline mineral tones. Strikingly penetrating and long-finishing. Will dazzle for at least a half century.”
- Wine Spectator: 94 points – “Rich yet delicate, with plush flavors of baked apple, ripe peach and nectarine accented by citrus zest. Very honeyed, with a zesty finish featuring ripe melon and chamomile. Drink now through 2048.”
- Falstaff Magazine: 92 points – “A wine of great finesse and purity, showcasing the Mosel’s signature electric acidity and mineral depth.”
- Drinking Window: This wine is built for eternity. While already offering a transcendent experience, it will continue to evolve for 30+ years, developing layers of complexity including aged honey, spice, and nutty depth.
