Schloss Lieser Riesling Feinherb 2018 (750ML)

This medium-dry wine has aromas of fruit and slate that lead to a fresh and round palate with a salty finish.

Wine making: Natural fermentation and elevage in stainless steel

Thomas Haag, from the venerable Mosel wine-making family Weingut Fritz Haag, and his wife Ute took up the position of Head Winemaker and Director of the estate in 1992. At this time the estate was just six hectares, located almost entirely in the Grosse Lage (Grand Cru) Lieser Niederberg Helden. After working at the winery for five years, by which time they had already restored much of the estate’s reputation, Thomas and Ute were able to purchase the property in 1997 and began making immediate investments in the cellar and vineyards.

Today they own 25 hectares of eight Grosse Lagen (Grand Crus) spread over 185 different plots. Schloss Lieser enjoys the topmost rating in Germany’s several wine guides, the most widely respected of which, the Vinum Weinguide Deutschland, rates only two estates in the Greater Mosel five stars out of five: Schloss Lieser and Egon Müller!

“Everything is handpicked,” says Thomas. “The goal is always to do as little as possible in the vineyards in terms of intervention. A goal of ours, with our children, of course, is to be 100% organic in our production in the coming years."
