Tasting notes
The label here no longer indicates “feinherb,” but that is how the estate still refers to this bottling, and its balance is as in previous recent vintages, with the merest hint of sweetness supporting tangy apple and grapefruit. There is a slight sweet-sour tension, but that’s part of this wine’s invigorating appeal. The refreshingly juicy, ringing finish carries an imposing load of crushed stone.

A common denominator of all the Haag wines is their lavish texture, and that applies to theirOrtswein ( village) feinherb too, with its rich expression of apricot, grapefruit and saline minerality. A delicate bitter nuance takes the place of acidity to provide the perfect balance for a modicum of residual sugar. (MS)
