Picked at 110° Oechsle and with 30% to 35% botrytis, the 2017 Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese offers dusty raisin and grapefruit aromas on the nose. Lush and concentrated on the palate, it is an elegant, mouth-filling and piquant Auslese with a creamy texture and long, salty-piquant, slatey finish. This has sound character, but it still tasted incredibly young and should be cellared for at least 10 years. Still very reductive. Tasted in March 2019.

Soft, round and open, supported by vibrant acidity that keeps this from getting too soft, maintaining focus on the peach, vanilla pastry and spice flavors. Best from 2020 through 2027. 250 cases made, 50 cases imported.??–AZ??Region: Germany / Mosel Select to Add
