Peter Lauer Sekt Saar Riesling Brut 2022

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 vines of up to 100 years old, in the Ayl village of Saar, Germany.

Taste Profile: Fresh and vibrant with good weight and balance. The mousse is fine and gentle, and there is good length and power with a nutty / white almond finish.

Winemaking Process:The Saar Riesling Cremant Brut is made by traditional bottle fermantation, the same as used to make Champagne. The wines are aged in bottle for 12 to 20 months before disgrorgement inthe cellar of the historic Joh. Frster winery in Trier-Sd
