"The 2016 Niederberg Helden Riesling Spatlese displays bright, clear, fresh and incredibly juicy fruit on the nose with ripe mango aromas and delicate, smoky slate notes. Young and light in color, the 2016 Helden Spatlese is exceptionally juicy and aromatic on the palate yet light-footed, elegant and moderately sweet-a sweetness that isn't cloying but comes across as ripe fruit sweetness. This is an exceptionally sensual, juicy, mouthwatering and utterly irresistible Riesling with 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in March 2026."

"Cool and minty but also juicy and well structured, this is a beautiful Mosel riesling Spatlese. It has some natural grape sweetness, but the freshness is fantastic, and this keeps it barely medium-bodied. I love the slatey energy in the long, polished finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold."

"The 2023 Riesling Lieserer Niederberg Helden Spätlese unites its slaty verve with freshly cut Granny Smith apple peel and a spin of passionfruit. The palate is exquisitely light and expressive, with the passionfruit frisson adding tart allure to ripe, creamy lemon notes. Wonderful ease and total articulation make this an agile, elegant and simply superb Spätlese."
