2020 Schloss Lieser-Thomas Haag Niederberg Helden Riesling Grosses Gewachs Mosel Germany

Winemaker Notes
"100% blue slate, vines that are up to 120 years old and up to 80% inclines - this is what the Niederberg Helden location stands for. The result is unique wines with an expressive character and special aging potential. The natural processing of the vineyards and the spontaneous fermentation of the wines have always been our trademark and reflect our appreciation for nature. The old vines give the wine enormous complexity, structure and depth."

Press
Rated 96 Points James Suckling

"Slightly funky, but brimming with blossom and berry aromas, this is concentrated, finely etched and super-mineral, with a breathtaking finish that makes you think you are drinking slate. Drinkable now, but best from 2023."

Rated 93 Points Wine Advocate

"The 2020 Niederberg Helden Riesling GG shows a coolish, even minty nose of broken slate and ripe, rich and intense fruit. Full-bodied, dense and structured on the palate, this is a dense and more muscular Helden that needs some years to refine and open up."
