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 17 Neuenberg 2021

With a south-to-southwest exposure, Neuenberg is historically one of the most important sections of Ayler Kupp. “Neuberg” was already described in Ayl on the tax map from 1868.

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Riesling from a south-west facing Grand Cru plot on the slopes of Ayler Kupp. The vines average 34 years of age

Taste Profile: Mineral, dense, fruity, and with infinite length on the palate. A great dry-tasting wine with a lot of aging potential.

Winemaking Process: Whole bunch pressing, followed by maceration with wild yeast & spontaneous fermentation. On lees ageing in larged wooden barrels for 5 months

Bright & Mineral Whites

From the limestone character of Sancerre to the green, herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc of Marlborough, this style group often shows off cut grass and wet stone. Often associated with coastal regions or limestone based terroir, these wines are characterised with crisp acidity, mineraiity, citrus tones, with a hint of grassiness
