Produced from a distinguished vintage and finished with the estate’s prestigious Goldkapsel designation, it offers the depth, sweetness and finely preserved acidity that make mature Mosel Riesling so compelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeep golden in colour, this mature Riesling displays an expressive bouquet of ripe stone fruit, honey and delicate spice, with the complex, evolved character expected from a wine of its age. On the palate, gentle sweetness is balanced by refreshing acidity, giving the wine both richness and poise. The finish is long, lingering and harmonious. Now fully mature, it should be enjoyed for its developed character; with excellent storage provenance, it may continue to evolve gracefully, although older bottles are best opened without unnecessary delay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine comes from Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr, a prestigious Mosel vineyard known for producing elegant Rieslings with pronounced aromatic intensity and natural freshness. As an Auslese, it was made from carefully selected, fully ripe grapes, with the Goldkapsel indicating an especially distinguished selection within the estate’s range. Specific harvesting and vinification details for this historic 1979 bottling are not available, but the wine’s balance reflects the classic Mosel approach of preserving Riesling’s vibrant acidity alongside its natural sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing its mature aromas to unfold in the glass. Its balance of sweetness and acidity makes it a refined partner for foie gras, pâté, spicy Asian cuisine, rich terrines and blue cheese; it can also be enjoyed with fruit-based desserts that are not overly sweet. Decanting is not usually necessary for a mature Riesling, though carefully standing the bottle upright before opening and serving it gently can help separate any sediment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFritz Haag is a historic family estate based in Brauneberg in Germany’s Mosel region, with a long-standing reputation for producing precise, elegant Rieslings from renowned local vineyards.
