His prime plots of land are in the top due south-facing Niederberg Helden vineyard of Lieser.

Though just a few hundred metres from his father's Brauneberg vineyards, the heavy thicker set grey/blue slate of the Helden vineyard produces heavier wines that sometimes require more initial bottle age before showing their true colours.

Rigorous work in the vineyard and microscopic attention to detail in his cellars, guarantee a consistent production of good wines in poor years and outstanding wines in great years. In fact, Thomas can regularly claim to have the Mosel's lowest yields.

Since 2004, Thomas has been exploiting some vines in the famous Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr vineyard, given to him by his father Wilhelm Haag of the Fritz Haag estate.

Robert Parker (RP) : 93 Points (2021)
The 2021 Juffer Kabinett is clear, deep and finely reductive on the flinty, intense and well-concentrated nose. Savory and lush on the palate, with delicate salinity and precise mineral acidity that uplifts the sweetness (40 grams per liter or a bit more) of this Juffer Kabinett, this is a consistent, very elegant and promising Kabinett that will be fascinating in about five or six years but can be aged for at least four decades. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022.

Wine Spectator (WS) : 92 Points (2017)
A beautifully built kabinett, with a silky texture and interesting minerally drive underscoring the flavors of apricot and guava, while vibrant acidity gives this fuel. Notes of cardamom accent the long finish. Drink now through 2029. (AZ) (7/2019)

Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 93 Points (2016)
Aeration and time supplants initially earthy smoky notes on the nose with fresh apple, pear and hazelnut. The palate is surprisingly forward and fruity showcasing pristine piercing tangerine and peach flavors. It's a dazzling, punchy kabinett that finishes on a delicately honeyed note. (6/2018)

Vinous (Antonio Galloni) (VN) : 92 Points (2016)
There is some reductive, youthful 'Mosel stink' here but it largely parts to reveal scents of seed- and pit-tinged lime and grapefruit, apple and white peach. The silken, buoyant palate features juicy fruit profusion but at the same time a decidedly stony undertone. The finish is correspondingly stony, with cooling herbal inflections to its understated but hauntingly lingering apple and white peach. High residual sugar has been entirely harnessed in the service of the fruit without engendering a more than modest sense of sweetness, and this impeccably balanced Kabinett does not forget its fundamental duty to refresh. (DS) (1/2018)

James Suckling (JS) : 90 Points (2016)
This has explosive youthfulness, great fruit and some real depth. Maybe it's a bit big for kabinett, but the finish is long and graceful. Better from 2018, but could age a decade. (6/2017)
