Weingut Peter Lauer

Cold and mineral-rich but with sun that makes Rieslings as succulent as they are perfectly seasoned with salt and racy acidity. Peter Lauer makes some of our very favorite Saar wines. He’s best known for his forward-leaning dry wines.

Description

Peter Lauer Fass 13 Ayler Kupp Auslese Goldkapsel 2017

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Riesling from the Saar.

In ancient times, when a mighty river covered the Saar Valley, the water left behind sand, gravel, and stones. The young Saar River cut its way into its old riverbed and created the steep gravel slope called Saarfeils, which is located on a peninsula and planted with old vines. These vines are deeply rooted, perpendicular to the groundwater without hitting rock.

Taste Profile: smoky notes and quince. Opulent, full-bodied. Feils, a particularly warm site, whose soil is similar to the Médoc, impresses with its opulent flavor of fresh herbs. Mint, ethereal notes, and exoticism combine to create a unique dry Saar Riesling.

Lush & Tropical Whites

Succulent stonefruit with a citrus backbone characterises these wines. Typically, they have notes of tropical fruit, and come from warmer climates. A touch of oak during the winemaking process also helps to give some softness to the wine.

Expect notes of peach, apricot, pineapples, melon & a buttery texture
