Winemaker Achievements Fritz Haag is one of Germany’s most revered estates, part of the VDP elite. Under Oliver Haag’s leadership since 2005, the estate continued its tradition of excellence, producing a smashing collection of 2007 Rieslings that stood out at the Grosser Ring / VDP Mosel presentation. The Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Spätlese was singled out as a candidate for Spätlese of the vintage by Mosel Fine Wines. Vineyard Terroir and Microclimate Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr is classified as VDP.GROSSE LAGE, the highest designation in Germany, equivalent to a Grand Cru. Its steep, south-facing slopes rise up to 80% gradient and overlook the Mosel River, creating a unique microclimate. The river reflects sunlight and moderates temperature, while the Devonian slate soils store heat and impart the signature smoky minerality. This combination ensures slow, even ripening, preserving acidity and aromatic complexity. The microclimate is essential for producing Spätlese wines with both finesse and longevity. Historical Note The name “Brauneberger Juffer” dates back to the 17th century and refers to the “maidens” (Juffer) who owned the vineyard and never married. The Sonnenuhr, or “sundial,” was added later to indicate the sunniest section of the slope, historically prized for producing the most refined wines. These vineyards have been celebrated for centuries and were even favored by Napoleon’s wine officers.
