Peter Lauer Fass 16 Trocken Riesling 2024
The Lauer family estate, founded in 1830, is located in Ayl, a small village on the west side of the Saar River. The estate is planted exclusively to Riesling; some parcels are around a century old. The great majority of wines are sourced from the famed Ayler Kupp. The style here from Florian Lauer is quite the opposite of his famous Saar neighbours, Egon Müller and Hanno Zilliken – focusing on dry and off-dry Rieslings bottled from single sites, identified by their cask number, as opposed to the Kabinett, Spätlese, Auslese wines of the latter two made using the German Prädikat System. Yet the hallmarks are similar: purity, precision, intensity, minerality.
The 2024er Riesling Trocken N°16 was made half from its own grapes harvested in Ayl and half from purchased grapes from Saarburg, Wawern, and Wiltingen. It has a spicy and zesty nose of earthy spices, smoke, licorice, wild herbs, and yellow peach. The wine proves light-bodied and delicately juicy, yet the herbal and spicy side quickly comes through and gives more freshness to this overall round and smooth wine. This is always a superb, elegant dry Riesling with laser focus and clarity " - Andrew Guard
