Schloss Lieser
High above the Mosel in Germany, Schloss Lieser is the stage where Thomas Haag shapes a rigorously site-driven Riesling style. Slate slopes, narrow terraces and old vines provide the natural tension that made this river valley a benchmark for finesse.
Harvest is carried out by hand in several passes, with parcels handled separately and with patience. Fermentations are often native-yeast, followed by extended time on fine lees in stainless steel or traditional Mosel fuders, keeping the cool, Devonian-slate imprint intact. Careful sorting and gentle pressing set the framework long before any élevage decisions are made.
Schloss Lieser reads like a conversation between heritage and modern precision: classic Mosel thinking, but never nostalgic. The wines aim to show place rather than effects – taut, finely built and unmistakably shaped by steep vineyard and slate.Schloss Lieser
