Schloss Lieser
Lieser Niederberg Helden, Riesling, Auslese, 2012
justerini & brooks tasting note
A more voluminous wine with a great shine of zesty yellow fruits, red apples, a touch of sesame, spice, and even soy. Only very lightly marked by native ferment aromas, this nevertheless has impressive slate nuance and leads into a rich nectarine and honey-drenched finish. No botrytis. 7%
critic reviews
94/100Joel Payne,Vinous
Pale golden yellow. Rich aromas of mango, passion fruit, clove and lemon oil. Baked pineapple and glazed honey flavors are kept in perfect balance by understated salinity. Hints of caramel and brown spices add complexity to the sublime finish, which is animated by a keen blade of slate. This is my favorite of the estate's ausleses in this vintage.
