Riesling dry Niederberg-Helden GG
The Niederberg-Helden vineyard is one of the great steep slopes of the Middle Moselle — and Schloss Lieser's Grosses Gewächs from this site shows why. Not a pleasant drinking wine, but a Riesling with backbone.
The winery in Lieser, directly opposite Bernkastel-Kues, consistently brings out the minerality of its slate vineyard. The Niederberg-Helden slopes steeply down to the Moselle River — the vines must root deeply, which is reflected in the wine.
The nose is initially yeasty and nutty, with a tobacco note and aromas of yellow peach and white pepper. There's also a clear herbal character—sage, a hint of wild herbs. On the palate, it's gripping and dense: intense minerality, a tart yet juicy structure, firm acidity without any harshness. The finish is long and grippy, returning to the white pepper notes. Still young, it needs time.
Drinking window: from 2026, good until 2035+
Temperature: 12–14 °C
