From steep slate-rich slopes in Brauneberg, Thomas Haag's Schloss Lieser produces this dry Riesling from a vineyard facing pure south. The 2020 shows delicate flinty minerality with ripe stone fruit and slate aromas, finishing with a vivacious, saline energy and feminine structure. At 12.5% alcohol, this German dry Riesling proves that the greatest wines need not be heavy—finesse and mineral intensity are the true measures of greatness. Sip it young or age it 15+ years.

A once historic estate with 100 acres under its belt, found its way to a slow decline, down to 6 acres until being taken over by Thomas and Ute Haag. They have slowly revived the vineyards, quality and reputation to its former glory, including purchasing and leasing 185 Grosse Lagen or "Grand Cru" sites. They are working on farming everything organically with the help of their two children, Lara and Niklas. winemaking is long and slow and reductive, with spontaneous fermentation, and no fining or filtering, preferring to wait as long as need be for racking to give the purest expression of site.
