Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett

Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett
A light-footed Mosel Riesling with the characteristic tension between fine residual sweetness and lively slate minerality — a Kabinett as described in the textbook, but rarely executed so well.
Schloss Lieser is situated directly on the Middle Moselle, between Bernkastel and Traben-Trarbach. The Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard is considered one of the most famous Riesling sites in the world: steep slopes, blue Devonian slate, maximum sun exposure. Since Thomas Haag took over the winery in 1992, Schloss Lieser has been one of the Moselle's premier wineries—with a clear signature style: precise fruit expression, clean fermentation, and no compromises on grape quality.
In the glass, the Kabinett displays aromas of white peach, apricot, and fresh lime zest, underpinned by a mineral slate note that grounds the wine. On the palate, it is light and playful—the typical Kabinett body of around 8–9% ABV—with a crisp acidity that cleanly integrates the residual sweetness and leaves no sticky residue. The finish is saline and long, with a hint of citrus peel.
Serving temperature: 8–10 °C. Drinking window until 2030, with potential for further development. Pairs well with Asian dishes with chili and ginger, river trout, light goat cheese, or simply on its own as a summer evening companion.
