REUTER DUSEMUND, THE OLDEST CELLARS OF BRAUNEBERG

The Reuter Dusemund family has been a family of winemakers since 1624. They are located in Brauneberg , in the Mittel Mosel, a small village with about 1000 inhabitants and is located near Bernkastel-Kues, well sheltered between the steep slopes of the Mosel. There is an ideal, sunny climate ; perfect climatic conditions for the ripening of Riesling. The vineyards of Reuter Dusemund are planted only with white grape varieties, with Riesling playing the leading role. The Riesling that, after picking, will or will not mature in the oldest cellars of Brauneberg! (fun fact).

The winery is run by two generations working together; the older generation Theresia and Hermann Reuter, and the younger generation; Jürgen Dusemund and Astrid Reuter-Dusemund. Son Jürgen gained his first experience between the vines in the winery 'Freiherr von Schorlemer', with success, because after that he obtained his 'State degree' for wine economist, after which he started as manager of the winery Reuter-Dusemund. The family owns a total of 4.5 hectares of (wine) land. In addition, they also own 1200 square meters of the famous Juffer Sonnenuhr and 6000 square meters of the Juffer !

THE MISS SUNTIME

The Juffer-Sonnenuhr is one of the most beautiful vineyards of the Mosel, and is located in the middle of the steep slate slope Braunenberg . On the right in the photo an image of the Juffer in winter conditions, during our visit to the beautiful valley. The climatic conditions of the Juffer Sonnenuhr are particularly favourable; the name refers to 'Juffer Sonnenuhr', literally translated Juffer Sundial refers to the perfect slope in relation to the sun. Due to this perfect position, where grapes get enough hours of sunshine and therefore every opportunity to ripen beautifully, Reuter Dusemund succeeds in bringing special Rieslings onto the market every year. Not just any Rieslings, but wines with enough complexity , a fresh, ripe style and sufficient finesse; fragrant with plenty of fruit, flowers, herbs, minerals and aromas of ripe fruits that are in harmony with the juicy fruit character.

EXCELLENT WINES

The Dusemund family makes special wines with an excellent price-quality ratio . The range of Riesling wines ranges from bone dry to very sweet. The Rotling, a blend of Spätburgunder and Riesling , is special. This is unfortunately difficult to obtain, but of course both the 'Juffers' and the 'Braunenbergers', as well as the well-known 'Schieferberg' are part of our Sommelier Selection.

THE GOLDEN GUY

Dare Wines has developed a special line in collaboration with Reuter-Dusemund, called 'Die Golden Eule'. With a view to gastronomic usability and high drinkability, these are true 'Sommelier Selected' wines.
