95 JG âAs is so often the case when tasting comparable bottlings from the Juffer and Juffer-Sonnenuhr vineyard side by side, the greater complexity inherent in the Juffer-Sonnenuhr always comes to the fore. Such is the case with these two lovely 2022 Spätlesen from Weingut Fritz Haag, as the Juffer-Sonnenuhr simply has an added dimension. The gorgeous bouquet delivers scents of pear, fresh lime, white cherry, bee pollen, salty grey slate minerality, gentle botanicals, iris blossoms and dusty rose. On the palate the wine is vibrant, medium-full, complex and more filigreed in personality than the Juffer Spätlese, with a gorgeous core of fruit, a refined mineral underpinning, bouncy acids and lovely length and grip on the seamlessly balanced and flat out delicious finish. The technical profile here is similar to the Juffer Spätlese, with the same 7.5 percent octane, 8.3 grams of acidity and seventy-six grams per liter of residual sugar. This is stunning juice.â
