The SL Riesling Kabinett 2024 from Weingut Schloss Lieser is an immaculate example of the high art of fruity-styled Kabinett in the modern Mosel idiom – filigree, bell-clear, and of captivating poise. Under the direction of Thomas Haag, this Riesling reinterprets the classical character of Kabinett: light in alcohol, yet anything but lightweight. On the nose, brilliant aromas of white peach, green apple, lime, and a hint of white blossoms emerge, underpinned by the delicate slate spice that defines the house style of Schloss Lieser. On the palate, the wine practically dances – showing a playful sweetness that never feels broad, carried by a vibrant, incisive acid structure that imparts freshness and precision. The SL Kabinett 2024 feels light-footed yet substantial, a textbook example of the art of uniting tension and elegance at a moderate alcohol level. Its inner density, refined texture, and long, saline finish make this wine not only an ideal culinary companion, but also a Kabinett with genuine ageing potential. A stylistic masterpiece that ideally reflects the 2024 vintage – defined by clarity, freshness, and precise fruit – while impressively underscoring the lofty quality standards of Schloss Lieser.
