Tasting Notes
The Juffer Sonnenuhr is the choicest center cut of the Brauneberg — the steepest and most south-facing part of the hillside. This Grosse Lage (grand cru) site produces profound, distinctive wines with great purity and concentration.
The 2020 growing season began mild, as usual, although with more preciptation than in recent years. But by early March the temperatures had begun to rise noticeably, hovering around 20°C at the beginning of April. Fortunately, we came nowhere near the peak temperatures of 2018 or 2019, and the vines are slowly adapting to the warmer weather, year after year. We are especially enthusiastic about the elegant, classically styled Kabinett and Spätlese we produced this year, with a few precious gems in the nobly sweet Prädikats.
