The 2022 Fritz Haag Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel is a highly regarded white wine from the Mosel Saar Ruwer region in Germany. Produced by Fritz Haag, this Riesling is notable for its balance of floral sweetness and mineral acidity, making it a standout among Mosel Auslese wines.

James Suckling's Stuart Pigott awarded this wine an impressive 97 points. He described it as "very cool and delicate in spite of the floral honey sweetness that’s wrapped around the elegant mineral acidity at the core of this beautiful Mosel Auslese." Pigott also highlighted its "very finely nuanced and precisely balanced" nature, especially evident in its "extremely graceful, long finish." This high praise underscores the finesse and complexity of the wine, suggesting it is suitable for both immediate enjoyment and aging.

Anne Krebiehl MW from Vinous also gave the wine a stellar review, rating it 96 points. She noted that the 2022 vintage was made from grapes with 30-40% botrytis, which Haag confirmed was "exquisitely clean." Krebiehl's tasting notes emphasize the purity of the wine, with "candied lime and lemon peel on the nose, with aromatic passion fruit trailing overhead." The palate is described as "viscous, very concentrated, super sweet, yet absolutely countered by acidity," creating a vivid, tropical sensation. She further commented on the wine's residual sweetness, approximately 125g/L, which contributes to its "very long, intense and supremely aromatic" finish.

With an alcohol content of 7.5%, this Riesling is lighter in alcohol, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a sweet yet balanced white wine. The use of a cork closure adds a traditional touch, preserving the wine's quality over time.

In summary, the 2022 Fritz Haag Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel is a beautifully crafted wine that excels in both sweetness and acidity, earning high praise from notable reviewers. It is a testament to the quality of Riesling wines from the Mosel region.
