Further picked-out from the material that comprised this year's gold capsule Auslese, a Willi Haag 2010 Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Beerenauslese delivers pungently zest yet highly confectionary candied lemon and grapefruit peel; along with musky, faintly fungal, and dusty suggestions of botrytis. Subtly creamy in texture yet with its somewhat detached (14.6 grams) acidity displaying a certain stiffness, this is very much a wine in need of bottle time to point the way toward its destiny. At the very least, it will need a decade and might live three. But the promise suggested by the juicy generosity and energy of the corresponding Auslese gold capsule is not yet present here.Markus and Inge Haag performed calcium carbonate de-acidification, at times in must, at times in wine, along with promoting malo-lactic transformation of some of their dry and off-dry cuvees. Results were decidedly mixed here this year. For practical purposes, Haags are gradually training all of their vines onto wires, but Markus admits, those that remain on traditional single posts could all be picked later this year, which was by no means a disadvantage.Numerous importers, including Atlanta Improvement Co.; tel.
