Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Schloss Lieser, Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Riesling, Spätlese, 2016

Again that glorious impression of sunshine, such a defining feature of the wines emanating from the Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard, with an almost perfumed fragrance leading to a palate of sun kissed peaches. So fine, so elegant, this is a Spatlese of the purest silk and probably the most refined Spatlese in Thomas's growing range.

7%
91/100
David Schildknecht, Vinous

Temporarily cheesy, reductive aromatic overtones on the nose thankfully do little to spoil the delight in emerging scents of apple and pink grapefruit wreathed in honeysuckle and heliotrope. Satiny in feel and possessed of generous primary juiciness, this finishes with soothing persistence, its sweetness obvious but supportive and an appropriate undertone of wet stone perceptible even through such rich fruitiness.

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.
