Peter Lauer Fa 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.

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 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
