If you're looking for a wine with energy, precision and character, look no further than the wines of Thomas Haag. Based in the picturesque Mosel valley, the meandering river makes the most of every ray of sunshine, reflecting the precious rays back up to the vines on the banks. By allowing the grapes to ripen slowly in this way, Thomas has managed to produce a high-quality Riesling with zingy acidity and concentrated fruit flavours. Then, using his winemaking knowledge that has been passed down from his father, Thomas has managed to elegantly create a wine which is a perfect reflection of the terroir with peach and citrus notes and a touch of minerality. It is a wine which can develop and increase its complexity for many years to come.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
Thomas Haag
Thomas Haag's career is one of the great success stories of the Mosel. His pedigree is impeccable, starting with learning at the feet of his father Wilhelm Haag, who made Weingut Fritz Haag great. Since taking over Schloss Lieser in 1992 and buying it outright in 1997, he has grown the estate from 6.5 to 25 hectares, owning an impressive range of plots. With an estate this size it would be no surprise if the quality began to suffer, but through brilliant organisation and hard work Thomas and his gifted vineyard manager Philipp Veser have made better wines together every year, teasing out the best of each vineyard they acquire. To taste these wines is to see the complexity and character of each separate site in a new light.
"A very silky but intense smoky minerality brightened by smooth and juicy peach fruit. All balanced by cool lemon and a zingy acidity." - Thomas Haag, Winemaker.
