Schloss Lieser 2023 Feinfruchtig Kabinett

Schloss Lieser 2023 Feinfruchtig Kabinett is a classic Mosel Riesling crafted with a focus on purity, balance, and site expression. As a Kabinett-level wine, it reflects careful, selective hand harvesting of Riesling grapes from slate-rich steep vineyards along the Middle Mosel, where cool climates favor vibrant acidity and nuanced fruit. Fermentation is typically carried out with indigenous yeasts, and the wine spends time in stainless steel tanks to preserve its delicate aromatics and bright freshness rather than develop oak-driven texture. The style is feinfruchtig—meaning “finely fruity”—with a touch of residual sugar that harmonizes with natural acidity, making this wine approachable early while still showing finesse.

Tasting Notes:
On the nose, expect inviting aromatics of orchard and stone fruits—think ripe peach, lime, and quince—interwoven with floral lift and slate-driven minerality. The palate is lively and playful, with juicy citrus and delicate tropical fruit framed by crisp acidity and a whisper of sweetness that accentuates rather than dominates. A pronounced slate minerality provides tension and drive, leading to a refreshing, lingering finish that showcases typical Mosel elegance and finesse.
