Haus Klosterberg Tradition Riesling Sweet 2024 comes from steep Mosel vineyards farmed by Markus Molitor, where slate soils and a cool river‑influenced climate allow Riesling to ripen slowly while retaining vibrant acidity. The “Tradition” and sweet style place this wine in the estate’s classic, fruit‑driven range, designed to showcase the approachable, charming side of Mosel Riesling at higher residual sugar levels.
Grapes are harvested at elevated ripeness, then gently pressed and fermented at cool temperatures, with fermentation stopped to retain a generous amount of natural grape sugar. The wine rests on fine lees to round the texture and integrate sweetness and acidity, resulting in a silky, polished palate that still feels lively and transparent to its slate terroir.
Tasting Notes
-
Aromas of honeyed stone fruit, apricot, peach and nectarine, layered with citrus zest, honeysuckle and delicate floral tones.
-
On the palate, sweet peach, apricot and ripe melon are balanced by bright acidity and clear mineral notes, giving a smooth yet energetic mouthfeel.
-
The finish is lingering and sweet but not cloying, echoing honey, citrus and slate.
Awards and Accolades
There are not yet specific published scores from major international critics for the 2024 Haus Klosterberg Tradition Riesling Sweet. However, the broader Haus Klosterberg Riesling line regularly receives solid reviews (around the high‑80s to 90 points) for recent vintages, praised for offering textbook Mosel character and excellent value.
Serving and Cellaring
Serve at 8–10°C in small white‑wine glasses to highlight the interplay of sweetness, fruit and acidity. This sweet Riesling pairs particularly well with fruit‑based desserts, citrus tarts, panna cotta, blue cheeses and spicy Asian dishes, and it can be cellared for roughly 8–10 years to gain notes of dried apricot, caramel and gentle petrol while retaining freshness.
Technical Details
Alcohol: around 8–9.5% ABV, typical for sweet Mosel Riesling in this style.
Residual Sugar: clearly sweet, in the “lush dessert” range, balanced by bright acidity.
