Peter Lauer, No. 1 Ayler Trocken/Feinherb, 2023

$32.00

Peter Lauer is one of the defining producers of the Saar, known for Rieslings that combine clarity, energy, and a finely tuned sense of balance. The No. 1 Ayler bottling comes from steep, slate-rich vineyards around the village of Ayler, where cooler conditions and long growing seasons preserve acidity and detail. Lauer’s approach is exacting yet restrained, allowing the interplay between ripeness and residual sugar to shape the wine.

The 2023 vintage is bright and finely etched, showing green apple, citrus peel, and white peach layered with subtle herbal notes and a clear slate-driven minerality. The palate is lively and precise, with vibrant acidity balanced by a gentle touch of sweetness in the Trocken/Feinherb range, giving the wine lift and flow. The finish is clean and refreshing, highlighting the Saar’s signature finesse.

Varietal: Riesling
Appellation: Ayler, Saar, Mosel, Germany
Farming: Sustainably farmed
Style: White. Crisp, balanced, and mineral-driven
