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 'Kupp' Grosses Gewächs Faß 18 2022

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Riesling, made with fruit from the central part of the original Kupp hill vineyard in Mosel, Germany. With an impressive age of 65 years, the vines have found their balance.

Taste Profile: Shy at first it unwinds slowly showing subtle hints of smoke, roasted spices, baking spices, grapefruit, and greengage. Sublime presence, intensity and finesse in the glass the sharp and energetic palate carries salinity and spice through a very long, dry finish. Smoke, herbs, and lime swirl in the aftermath.

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
