Imbibe Like a Master Sommelier With This 94-96 pt Riesling
“Where else can you pay so little to enjoy a wine from one of the world’s most incredible vineyard sites?”
We let our Master Sommelier Sur Lucero’s words resonate, with the 2018 Weingut Max Ferdinand Richter Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Kabinett shimmering in our glasses. Savoring the succulent notes of lime peel, white peach, and green apple skin, which start bold and plush before narrowing into a precise and clean finish, we didn’t have a reply. Our first sip had us marveling, wondering why this wine didn’t cost more than $27 per bottle.
Spotting its potential early on, the Richter family first purchased vines in the Brauneberg vineyard in 1643, well before the wines from the site were defined as favorites of Thomas Jefferson. And well before Brauneberg became known as one of the best vineyards not only in the Mosel, but in the world.
The delectable flavor profile, Grand Cru status of the vineyard parcel, and hard-to-believe price converge to make this wine an unrivaled value. And today, we’re proud to echo Jefferson as we dub the 2018 single parcel bottling of Brauneberger Juffer a “must-have,” and one of our personal favorites.
Our endorsement is further backed by the 94-96 point score awarded by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, which cements our declaration that this wine offers a true sense of what it means to be best in class.
An expert translation of the vineyards’ awe-inspiring 80% slope and mixture of slate and mineral-dense soils, the 2018 provides a verve and energy indicative of the vineyards’ soaring position over the Mosel River.
Firm believers that great wines are born in the vineyard, not a cellar, the tenth generation of the Richter family takes great pride in showcasing all that Brauneberg Juffer can offer today by keeping crop sizes small and sticking to sustainable practices.
It’s not every day that we find a Riesling that’s worth so much more than its listed value. This one makes it easy to drink not only like a Master Sommelier, but a Founding Father, so take advantage of this rare opportunity today.
