Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Schloss Lieser, Piesporter Goldtropfchen, Riesling, Spätlese, 2017

A little more backward than some of the other Spatlese in the line-up, yet nevertheless a wine clearly built on fabulous electric energy and super-seductive fruit. Pineapple and tangerine notes are married to chiselled, energetic blue and grey slate notes, the delivery one of high voltage and high definition brilliance.

David Schildknecht, Vinous

Lime, grapefruit, cassis and mint deliver an effusive nose and a generously juicy, coolingly herb-tinged palate impression. The personality here could scarcely be more different from that of the corresponding, borderline overripe Juffer-Sonnenuhr. Flatteringly silken and buoyant, this beauty finishes with luscious generosity of fruit, mouthwatering salinity and consummate refreshment. Once again, Goldtröpfchen – in which Haag now has eleven different parcels and says he harvested in 2017 much later than did his fellow vineholders – really excels in the current collection.

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.
