Fritz Haag (Ferdinand Haag Erben) - Brauneberger Juffer Falkenberg Riesling Spätlese 1952 - 0,75l

A remarkable piece of Mosel wine history, this 1952 Brauneberger Juffer Falkenberg Riesling Spätlese was produced by Fritz Haag, historically known as Ferdinand Haag Erben. More than seven decades old, it offers a rare opportunity to experience the elegance and longevity of a mature Riesling from one of the Mosel’s celebrated vineyard sites.

Tasting Notes
The wine is described as displaying a luminous golden colour, reflecting its considerable age and development in bottle. Its mature bouquet combines ripe fruit with notes of honey and delicate spice, suggesting the layered complexity associated with well-cellared Riesling of this age. On the palate, it is full-bodied and balanced, with a refreshing thread of acidity supporting the wine’s richness. The finish is long and persistent. Given its vintage, the wine is best enjoyed for its mature character and should be opened with realistic expectations regarding bottle condition and provenance.

Production
Brauneberger Juffer Falkenberg is a distinguished vineyard site in the Mosel, known for its steep slopes and mineral-rich slate soils—conditions that help Riesling retain freshness while developing remarkable longevity. As a Spätlese, the wine was made from grapes harvested at advanced ripeness, resulting in greater concentration and richness. Specific details of the 1952 harvesting and vinification are not available, but the wine’s balance of mature fruit, sweetness and acidity reflects the traditional Mosel style.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing the mature aromas to unfold in the glass. Its richness and acidity make it a natural partner for delicate fish, roast or poached poultry, and mature or mildly pungent cheeses. Decanting is not always necessary for an old Riesling; instead, open it carefully and taste immediately. If sediment is present and the wine is sound, a gentle decant shortly before serving may be appropriate, while avoiding prolonged aeration.

Producer
Fritz Haag is one of the historic names of the Middle Mosel, with a long-standing reputation for expressive, age-worthy Rieslings from Brauneberg. The designation Ferdinand Haag Erben reflects an earlier chapter in the estate’s history, when the wines were released under the name of the heirs of Ferdinand Haag. This bottle offers a fascinating glimpse into the region’s post-war wine tradition and the enduring cellaring potential of Mosel Riesling.
