The 2019 Schloss Lieser Thomas Haag Kabinettstück Riesling is a delightful off-dry Riesling from the renowned Mosel region, crafted by the rising star winemaker Thomas Haag, part of the legendary Haag family. The 2019 vintage in Germany was small but excellent, characterized by a hot, dry summer that resulted in concentrated grapes. This Kabinett is a sweeter style of Riesling with piercing acidity and lovely pure fruit, featuring a nose packed with chalky, crushed hillside lemon and lime. Despite its sweetness, the delicate citrus notes and high, fresh acidity provide a lovely balance, cleaning the palate. It's described as dancing on the knife's edge between just off-dry fruit and mouthwatering, high-toned acidity, a study in balance that is light, vibrant, and endlessly food-friendly. The wine is clear, nimble, and effortlessly refreshing, with a finish that lingers but never weighs you down. 【Under Thomas Haag, Schloss Lieser has risen to the absolute top tier of the region, producing consistently crystalline, precise, and feather-light wines.】 Food pairing suggestions for this versatile Riesling include Thai, Vietnamese, and other Southeast Asian curries, sushi and sashimi. Alternatively, it pairs nicely with a veal or turkey schnitzel, or a green leafy salad. This wine is perfect for casual gatherings, picnics, or as an aperitif. Its refreshing character also makes it an excellent companion for a wide range of international cuisines, particularly those with a hint of spice or sweetness. It's a wine that appeals across the spectrum, from serious German wine collectors to those who simply appreciate bright, honest, and delicious bottles.
