Oliver Haag & Wilhelm Haag |
Country of Origin: Germany
Location: Brauneberg
People: Oliver Haag & Wilhelm Haag, Owners & Winemakers
The Haag estate is perhaps one of the, if not the, most respected names in German fine wine. Quality is always the focus at this estate, and quantity is extremely limited. Today Oliver Haag of Fritz Haag estate, whose family has been engaged in viticulture at Brauneberg since 1605, is the town’s most important proprietor. One of his ancestors was a co-founder of the Brauneberger-Juffer-Sonnenuhr vineyard site. At present, the estate owns the largest and best portion of this vineyard. In addition, the estate also owns the best parts of the Brauneberger Juffer. All sites are 100% Riesling. The very steep vineyards with grades up to 73%, are planted on slate rock, and are among the most difficult vineyard sites in the world to cultivate. Like “solar collectors”, they too are extremely efficient in absorbing every available ray of sunshine. Hence, even in off-vintages the Brauneberger wines from the hillside vineyards are usually successful. The Fritz Haag Estate is a member of Der Grosse Ring - VDP Mosel-Saar-Ruwer.
