95 / 100"The Lieser 2019 Niederberg Helden Riesling GG is clear and intense on the remarkably fine, flinty and herbal nose. Full-bodied, lush and intense, with fine crystalline acidity and slate astringency, this is an elegant, round, finessed and mouth-filling Helden. It is as fine and elegant as rarely seen before and is carried by lingering salinity and even hidden tannins. It's almost as part was vinified in oak, which would be a more than tolerable stylistic change since it would be for the better. Tasted at the domain in September 2020."

"A very cool, sleek and pristine wine with a lot of mineral energy driving it along at a brisk clip. Juicy yet very clean finish with a lot of berry notes. Drink or hold."
- James Suckling
Tasting Notes
The cool nights in late summer gave the grapes great aroma intensity and ideal acidity values, which promise an excellent shelf life. This wine is profound, complex with high extracts and pronounced slate minerality combined with a fine, and animating acid structure.
