Willi Haag 2005 Brauneberger Juffer Auslese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- Editors' Choice
- $24
Crisp and clean, with a long, delicately wrought finish, this is a throwback to the auslesen of earlier times, without heaps of sweetness, but instead playing off the fine balance between sugar and acid. Floral and citrus aromas weave around a core of green apple fruit, while a bass line of slatey minerality underscores the melody.

- Editors' Choice
- $21
Nicely balanced and light in body yet assertively flavored. Reveals notes of slate and diesel fuel, buffered by ripe apples, pears and citrus fruits. Finishes long, with ample sucrosity.

Willi Haag 2006 Brauneberger Juffer Spätlese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- Editors' Choice
- $28
This wine’s aromas of baked apple, honey, cinnamon and brown sugar are immediately attractive, and in the mouth it doesn’t disappoint. It’s broad and mouthfilling but avoids heaviness, finishing long, with hints of orange rind.

Willi Haag 2005 Brauneberger Juffer Kabinett Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $18
This wine comes out of the bottle a little cranky, but give it some time in the glass and the initial stink gives way to notes of lime, apple and peach. It’s plump in feel, with some dusty minerality and dried spices adding nuance to the sweet fruit.

Nicely done for an entry-level wine, with slate, fresh floral greens and briny minerality all wrapped up in an off-dry cocoon of green apples and citrus fruits. Fresh and clean on the finish.

Willi Haag 2007 Brauneberger Juffer Auslese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- $39
Presents an admirable blend of melon, lime, slate, mint and petrol, folding in apple notes on the palate. This is fairly sweet—close to unctuous—in style, while remaining fresh and fruit-driven from start to finish.

Willi Haag 2007 Brauneberger Juffer Spätlese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- $29
Willi Haag’s 2007 spätlese from the Juffer boasts a high-class mélange of petrol and slate, flowers and citrus. It’s medium in body, with surprisingly restrained fruit on the palate, finishing with just a touch of phenolic bitterness.
