    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Schloss Lieser, Lieser Niederberg Helden, Riesling, Spätlese, 2016

    Wild ferment notes initially fill the nose before revealing broad spicy earthy notes, a touch of anise, and then red apples. Here the palate has all the ripeness you'd expect from the red soils of the Helden vineyard, bursting with red fruits, berries and ripe peaches.

    Anne Krebiehl, Vinous
    The 2022 Riesling Lieserer Niederberg Helden Spätlese opens with an initial yeasty funk, slowly revealing creaminess and a sense of tender, ripe yellow plum. The palate adds flesh to these aromatic bones, with juicy texture and sweetness bedded into the fruit, serene, textured. A grapefruit tinge balances this pure, airy vision of ripe stone fruit flesh alongside slate, anchoring this in a salty base. The 80-85g/L of sugar just seems to disappear in this salty, citric marvel. (Sweet)
