Feather-Light, Off-Dry, and Flat-Out Delicious
A stalwart of the Skurnik Wines portfolio and one of the standard bearers of fine Riesling today, Schloss Lieser is everything you want in a Mosel estate: steep slate vineyards, old vines, a deep well of tradition, and a fanatical commitment to quality. No, this is not a powerful, dry style that has become so popular with collectors today but is more of the American import style of being off-dry Kabinett. I think that this is a style that has become underappreciated for its versatility and just general delicious character.
Under Thomas Haag—part of the legendary Haag family of winemakers—Schloss Lieser has risen to the absolute top tier of the region. His wines are consistently crystalline, precise, and feather-light, with that unmistakable Mosel interplay of sweetness and acidity that makes this style so craveable.
The 2019 Kabinett is classic Lieser: dancing on the knife’s edge between just off-dry fruit and mouthwatering, high-toned acidity. It’s a study in balance—light, vibrant, and endlessly food-friendly, with a finish that lingers but never weighs you down; clear, nimble, and effortlessly refreshing.
It’s a wine that appeals across the spectrum. Whether you're a serious collector of German wines or simply someone who appreciates bright, honest, delicious bottles. Few styles are this versatile at the table, and few wines are this easy to fall in love with.
This is a true classic of the Skurnik book, and it deserves a place in your fridge, your cellar, and your regular rotation.
