A 2005 Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Auslese offers a refined impression of slate from its nose to finish. Grapefruit and pineapple contribute juicy, generous, bright fruit. Like its Graacher Himmelreich counterpart, this simply needs time to put itself together and – rather unusually among 2005 vintage Mosel Rieslings – for its bright acidity to tone down.
