Picked late, in the first half of October, and partly (one-third) vinified in doppelstück oak vats, the 2017 Brauneberg Juffer Riesling GG is clear, intense and fresh in its delicate mineral-slate bouquet that reveals ripe, elegant fruit intermixed with crushed stone and some floral aromas. Yeasty on the creamy-textured palate, this is a full-bodied, lush and elegant Riesling with generous fruit and a long, refined but structured finish. This is a great wine that can—and should—be cellared for many years. There are lovely crunchy-salty notes on the aftertaste. Tasted in March 2019.

Fermented partly in oak (fuder and doppelstück), the 2016 Brauneberg Juffer Riesling Trocken "GG" offers clear, ripe, intense yet fine and mineral fruit with deep and finely crunchy "brown" or warmer slate aromas. Lush and very delicate on the palate, this is a silky-textured, generous and highly elegant dry Riesling with opulent fruit intensity in the long, aromatic finish. Very fine and complex, it's pretty accessible already. 12.5% alcohol, AP 24 17. Tasted March 2018.

The 2015 Brauneberg Juffer Riesling Trocken GG was partly picked in the second half of October and another part very late towards mid-November, then macerated for ten to 12 hours, and aged until July in 25% stainless steel (the late harvest part) and 75% oak fuders. This Riesling offers a very clear and aromatic bouquet of perfectly ripe fruits, along with the flinty flavors of the Juffer terroir. The wine is pure, dry and fresh, very elegant and piquant on the palate but also full and lush. It has an elegant body and a long, aromatic finish, though is still characterized by its long lees aging. This has promising quality.

Fermented pretty long until July on fine lees, the golden-yellow colored 2014 Juffer Riesling trocken GG is very clear and elegant on the nose and displays the fine and flinty slate aromas of the Juffer terroir. Full-bodied, juicy and intense on the palate, this is a powerful and tightly woven, nicely mineral and concentrated Riesling with an impressive, tension-filled finish. Very promising.
