Peter Lauer Alt Scheidt Feinherb 2024

For purists, there is nothing like the Saar. It is arguably one of the greatest, most unique wine-growing regions on earth. The core of greatness in the Saar is intensity without weight, grandiosity without size.

Florians general style is exactly the opposite of his famous Saar neighbor Egon Mller. At Lauer, the focus is on dry-tasting Rieslings as opposed to the residual sugar wines of the latter. When the vintage allows it, Florian will craft Prdikat wines, the Kabinetts, Sptlesen and Auslesen that we all know and once loved

Employing natural-yeast fermentations, Lauers wines find their own balance. They tend to be more textural, deeper and more broad-shouldered. Yet they have a preternatural sense of balance, an energy that is singular. Yet the hallmarks of the Saar are there: purity, precision, rigor, mineral.

Grape Varietals & Region:100% Riesling, from the Saar valley of Germany

In previous years, their drinking wine for daily enjoyment came regularly from the Ayler Scheidterberg. Unfortunately, this vineyard name has disappeared. They did however, want to stay true to tradition and name their lightest Riesling after this vineyard.

Taste Profile:It is mineral-fresh and with an exciting bouquet of wild yeasts
Archetype of the animating Saar Riesling.
