Max Ferd. Richter - Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese 2017 - 0,375 l

Max Ferd. Richter’s 2017 Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese is a rare, intensely sweet Mosel Riesling made from highly concentrated, botrytis-affected grapes. Presented in a 375 ml bottle, it offers remarkable richness balanced by the vibrant acidity that defines great wines from the Mosel. The Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr vineyard is one of the region’s most celebrated sites, renowned for producing long-lived Rieslings of exceptional finesse and concentration.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays an intense golden-yellow colour, hinting at its maturity and concentration. Its complex bouquet combines honeyed notes with ripe peach, apricot, passion fruit and citrus, alongside the lush, delicate character associated with noble rot. On the palate, it is full-bodied and deeply concentrated, yet lifted by refreshing acidity. Layers of tropical and stone fruit develop alongside honeyed richness, leading to a long, lingering finish. With its balance of sweetness and acidity, this Trockenbeerenauslese has excellent ageing potential and can develop beautifully for many years when properly stored.

Production
The grapes come from Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr, a steep Mosel vineyard known for its slate soils and favourable sun exposure. Trockenbeerenauslese is produced from individually selected, overripe grapes, typically affected by noble rot, which naturally concentrates their sugars, flavours and acidity. The fruit is carefully harvested by hand and gently pressed before fermentation, resulting in a wine of extraordinary intensity and balance.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at around 8–10°C. This luxurious Riesling pairs beautifully with fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, foie gras, blue cheese and rich pâtés; its acidity also makes it an elegant partner for spicy Asian cuisine. It does not require decanting, although allowing it a short time in the glass can reveal additional aromatic layers. The 375 ml format is ideal for serving as a special finale to a meal.
