Exclusive Sweet Wine Auction – No Reserve Price - OHMS Private Labeled Collection. Exclusive Electric Balance – 1 half bottle 375 ml – Fritz Haag 2010 Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese A Monument to High Acidity and Noble Sweetness – From a world‑famous VDP icon – no reserve price Estate, legacy, and VDP prestige Founded in 1605, Weingut Fritz Haag is one of the Mosel’s oldest estates, rooted in Brauneberg on the steep slate of Brauneberger Juffer and Juffer Sonnenuhr, sites celebrated for elegance, mineral purity, and longevity. These parcels are classified by the VDP as Grosse Lage, the top tier for single‑vineyard origin. The VDP’s origin‑based hierarchy and eagle seal on the capsule signify stringent standards of terroir, yield, and handwork that exceed German wine law. Oliver Haag leads the estate today, continuing a family tradition of precision and sustainable viticulture. Wilhelm Haag, German Winemaker of the Year in 1994 and long‑time chairman of the Grosser Ring VDP Mosel, helped shape modern Mosel excellence and international recognition for fine Riesling. Renown clients and world appraisal Brauneberg’s wines have been prized since the 18th and 19th centuries, praised at European courts and fashionable London tables. Historical accounts record Napoleon’s esteem for these “pearls” of the Mosel; Thomas Jefferson noted Mosel wines among the region’s finest during his 1788 travels. This lineage underpins the estate’s global prestige among collectors and Michelin‑level sommeliers today. Winemakers’ words and philosophy Wilhelm Haag: “Quality is the only path to reach one’s goals.” Oliver Haag: “Each year, Brauneberger Juffer and Juffer Sonnenuhr yield great Rieslings that are inimitable throughout the world.” Oliver’s philosophy centers on the vineyard first, selective hand harvests, spontaneous fermentations, and a natural, sustainable approach to express slate, fruit, and finesse with long‑term aging potential. The 2010 vintage – purity, precision, and longevity 2010 in the Mosel delivered low yields with soaring natural acidity and superb conditions for nobly sweet wines. The best wines show electric balance: concentrated botrytis fruit framed by crystalline acidity. Trade and press reports from the time highlighted 2010’s success for Auslese, Beerenauslese, and Trockenbeerenauslese styles, with many producers crafting vibrant, long‑lived bottles. Wine profile and classification Fritz Haag 2010 Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese Prädikat: TBA, the highest level in German wine, from individually selected, botrytis‑shrivelled berries. Expect layers of tropical and dried fruits such as apricot and pineapple, candied citrus, floral honey, and spice over pure slate minerality. Viscous, opulent texture is lifted by piercing acidity for an endless, focused finish. Global critic and market data for Mosel 2010 confirm exceptional ratings and demand for top nobly sweet Rieslings across leading sites and producers.
