Wine Auction - Experts' Selection - NO RESERVE PRICE! Fritz Haag 2009 Estate Riesling – Mature Mosel Gutsriesling – 3 x 750 ml An excellent opportunity for international collectors to acquire three bottles of mature German Riesling from the renowned Mosel region. This Fritz Haag Estate Riesling from the 2009 vintage offers the rare chance to experience a fully developed estate-level Riesling from one of Germany’s most historic producers. A Rare Mature German Riesling German Rieslings are world-famous for their longevity, yet most bottles are enjoyed young. Estate Rieslings, known in Germany as Gutsriesling, are typically consumed early and rarely preserved long enough to reach maturity. These 2009 bottles, now over fifteen years old, clearly demonstrate the aging potential of high-quality Mosel Riesling beyond the famous sweet Prädikat styles. The Producer: Weingut Fritz Haag Founded in 1605, Weingut Fritz Haag is one of Germany’s most respected family-owned wine estates. Located in Brauneberg along the Mosel River, the winery is internationally recognized for pure, mineral-driven Rieslings with excellent balance and longevity. The estate is a member of the VDP, Germany’s leading association of top quality wine producers, which guarantees strict quality standards and authenticity. The Region: Mosel, Germany The Mosel is one of the world’s most distinctive cool-climate wine regions, famous for its steep slate slopes and Rieslings of elegance, precision, and freshness. Slate soils retain heat and provide mineral tension, contributing to the wine’s ability to age gracefully for decades. The Vintage: 2009 The 2009 Mosel vintage is highly regarded for its harmony between ripe fruit and lively acidity. Warm growing conditions combined with a long ripening period produced wines with excellent concentration and structure. For dry and lightly off-dry styles, 2009 is known for producing wines capable of long bottle development. Style: Estate Riesling Gutsriesling Estate Riesling represents the pure expression of the winery’s style. Typically bottled dry or slightly off-dry, it focuses on clarity, minerality, and balance rather than sweetness. This style appeals strongly to international collectors who appreciate refined, food-friendly Rieslings. Tasting Profile With maturity, the wine now shows aromas of waxy citrus peel, yellow apple, dried apricot, subtle herbal notes, and the classic petrol character associated with aged Riesling. The palate is fresh and linear, supported by integrated acidity and a long, clean finish. Drinking Window Currently in an excellent phase of maturity. Suitable for enjoyment now, with the structure to continue evolving through the next decade.
