In 1992 Thomas Haag, the son of the celebrated Brauneberg winemaker Wilhelm Haag, took over the Schloss. It was already very good, but Thomas has made it a Champions League domain by working hard. According to the Gault Millau, it belongs to the very best in Germany. And the only domain in Germany to receive the highest award in all guides! The suppleness and drinkability are trademarks of Schloss Lieser, such elegance and above all the temptation to swallow a wine can be found at few other producers. In short, a must have!

Thomas describes the 2021 volume as follows:
2021 gave us a very classic, moseltypical Riesling year. After a cool, wet spring and changing weather in summer, September brought us a lot of sun and cool nights and therefore encouraged a great aroma development. The harvest can be characterized by many various selective procedures in mid October and this rewarded our very precise handwork with perfect healthy grapes by limited quantity. The 2021 Rieslings present themselves very fine, pure with an enormous minerality, lively acidity and great fruit balance.

There is now a real run on the Grand Crus of Schloss Lieser, dry Moselle in the highest quality spectrum. The Schloss Lieser-Thomas Haag Graacher Himmelreich Riesling GG )Groses Gewachs) is stony, intense and fresh, very cool and super clear with a lot of white berries and herbal aromas. this is a sleek and precise wine with an energetic and spicy personality. Very crunchy mineral aftertaste with lots of spices. Give this wine some time to develop and then it can be stored in the cellar for decades

FACT: According to Meininger the best GG Mosel collection in 2020 and the GG Niederberg Helden is the best GG Mosel in 2020 according to Weinwisser!

One of the four bangers from the Moselle. Germany champions league. What a great riesling Thomas Haag makes. It was not for nothing that he became Winzer des Jahres (Gault & Millau). In the 1990s, Thomas and his wife Ute took over in a sorry state. By working very hard, the weather has been raised in all its glory. The winery owns about twenty hectares in the best steep slopes of the Moselle. Due to 80-year-old sticks, only manual harvesting in several courses, the wines are guaranteed with great aging potential. All wines undergo spontaneous fermentation in the more than 100-year-old vaulted cellar. They are complex, elegant and mineral at the same time. And of course with a very low alcohol content. Wines with their own identity and character. It is therefore not the slightest slope where the grapes come from, such as: Lieser Niederberg Helden, Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr, Brauneberger Juffer, Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Graacher Himmelreich, Bernkasteler Doctor and the Piesporter Goldtröpfchen.
