Max Ferd. Richter - Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese 2018 - 0,375 l

Max Ferd. Richter’s 2018 Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese is an exceptionally rare and concentrated Mosel sweet wine, presented in an elegant 375 ml half bottle. Made from highly selected, naturally shrivelled Riesling grapes, it combines immense richness with the vibrant acidity that defines the finest wines of the Mosel. The Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr vineyard is one of the region’s most renowned sites, celebrated for producing age-worthy Rieslings of remarkable finesse.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays an intense golden-yellow colour, often deepening with further bottle age. Its complex bouquet reveals ripe stone fruit, candied citrus, honey, dried apricot and delicate spice, with the botrytis-derived richness typical of a great Trockenbeerenauslese. On the palate, it is opulent, concentrated and full-bodied, yet balanced by refreshing Mosel acidity. Layers of honeyed fruit and mature peach lead to a long, harmonious finish. With its combination of sweetness, concentration and acidity, the 2018 vintage has excellent ageing potential and can develop gracefully for several decades when properly stored.

Production
The grapes come from the steep, slate-rich Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr vineyard, whose favourable exposures and warm microclimate encourage exceptional ripeness. Trockenbeerenauslese is produced from individually selected, botrytis-affected grapes that have naturally concentrated on the vine. The fruit is gently pressed and fermented carefully to preserve its aromatic precision, natural sweetness and lively acidity.

Food & Serving
This luxurious Riesling is a superb partner for rich pâtés, foie gras, blue cheeses and fruit-based desserts, while its acidity also complements delicately spiced Asian cuisine. Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C. Decanting is not essential, but a short period of aeration can help reveal the wine’s layered aromas; older bottles should be handled gently and decanted only if sediment is present.
