In order to promote the reputation of the world famous vineyard locations of "Brauneberger Juffer" and "Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr" even more – even Napoleon counted them amongst the pearls of the Mosel region - Dusemond was renamed Brauneberg in 1925. According to tradition, the 12.2 ha Fritz Haag vineyard, now headed by Oliver Haag, is also known by the name of "Dusemonder Hof". Only Riesling grapes, which are tended throughout the year by experienced… Read more

Vinous (Antonio Galloni) (VN) : 93 Points (2022)

For now, the 2022 Riesling Brauneberger Juffer Kabinett has a layer of sulfur on the nose. Underneath this, peachiness awaits. The palate comes on light feet, with vivid fluidity, juicy flow and much allure. The fruit is toned down to citrus, mouth-watering with a touch of peach framed with vivid lemon notions. The 45g/L of sugar lends a lovely sweetness, all wrapped in a citric, fresh charm. (Medium) (AK) (10/2023)

James Suckling (JS) : 93 Points (2022)

Wonderful nose of cassis and flint with floral and baking spice nuances. Very clean and racy with so much drive and energy on the sleek and focused palate. Fantastic wet stone freshness at the long, super-clean finish.

Wine Spectator (WS) : 92 Points (2022)

A compelling version of the off-dry style, showing good concentration. Juicy apple and apricot flavors are cut with citrus zest and bitter-edged mineral notes, offsetting the sweetness nicely. A beam of racy acidity courses through, keeping this brisk, with a waft of smoke on the focused close. Drink now through 2032. (KB) (2/2024)

Wines & Spirits (W&S) : 90 Points (2022)

During the 2022 growing season, some days the vineyards were so hot, the vines went dormant, slowing ripening. Here in the sun-drenched Juffer, the wine leans towards the savory side of riesling, even as candied chrysanthemum and melon rind lead the way. Pair it with Thai cuisine. (3/2024)

Robert Parker (RP) : 91 Points (2021)

The medium-sweet 2021 Juffer Kabinett is clear and finely reductive on the precise and leafy nose. Lush, round and sweet as well as tangy on the palate, this is an elegant, refined, saline and savory Kabinett that will be easy to quaff in a year or two. The acidity is sharp but embedded in charming, lush fruit. Rating: 91+

Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 91 Points (2021)

There is a seductive saffron note that introduces this Riesling and wraps around the juicy core, which sports nectarine and apple flavors, with floral hints for added charm. It has a good flow and impeccable balance, with an inviting finish. (AZ) (3/2023)
