Peter Lauer Fa 2 Ayl Riesling Extra Trocken 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 slate slopes in Ayl, Saar, Germany

Taste Profile: A head full of spice up front dances with layered fruit, smoke, roasting herbs, and stone fruit. The palate is fine and silky with balanced fruit flowing into a lovely, focused dry finish and a gentle sea breeze and spice lingering on the palate. A wine that cuts a fantastic figure with strong or salty-spicy dishes.

Winemaking Process:The fruit is mash fermented & undergoes wild yeast fermentation, followed by barrel ageing on lees
