The Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett 2024 from Weingut Schloss Lieser is a textbook example of the finest Mosel Kabinett craftsmanship from one of Germany’s most celebrated vineyards. Even on the nose, the signature playfulness of this site is apparent through finely chiselled aromatics of white peach, ripe lemon, green apple, and a touch of exotic fruit, accompanied by floral notes and a cool, slate-driven minerality. On the palate, the wine dances with the quintessential weightlessness of a great Kabinett, carried by a precise, understated residual sweetness and an invigorating acid structure that lend the wine brilliant tension and length. The “Sonnenuhr” parcel within the Goldtröpfchen is among the crown jewels of this site, defined by precipitously steep, sun-drenched slate slopes that bestow exceptional delicacy, depth, and expressiveness upon the wine. The 2024 vintage offered ideal conditions for elegant, poised Kabinett wines – and with this bottling, Thomas Haag has crafted a finely nuanced, crystal-clear Riesling that feels at once purist and seductive. A Kabinett with superb ageing potential that already offers immense drinking pleasure today – served chilled, it is an ideal companion to Asian cuisine, fresh seafood, or simply on its own as an aperitif.
