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.

ABV:
7.5%
92/100
David Schildknecht, Vinous

Mirabelle, pear and white peach on the nose translate into generous fresh fruit juiciness on a polished, silken palate. Honeydew melon adds a ripe and luscious dimension to the fruit as it heads into a sustained, buoyant, slate-lined finish that both soothes and stimulates. The high residual sugar here is entirely supportive and its sweetness unobtrusive.

Schloss Lieser

Schloss Lieser

This Estate is one of the new stars of the Mosel that in Thomas Haag (son of Wilhelm at Fritz Haag), has one of Germany’s brightest up and coming winemakers. His prime plots of land are in the top due south-facing Niederberg Helden vineyard of Lieser. Though just a few hundred metres from his father’s Brauneberg vineyards, the heavy thicker set grey/blue slate of the Helden vineyard produces heavier wines that sometimes require more initial bottle bottle age before showing their true colours. Rigorous work in the vineyard and microscopic attention to detail in his cellars, guarantee a consistent production of good wines in poor years and outstanding wines in great years. In fact, Thomas can regularly claim to have the Mosel’s lowest yields. Since 2004, Thomas has been exploiting some vines in the famous Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr vineyard, given to him by his father Wilhelm Haag of the Fritz Haag estate.
