Peter Lauer, Unterstenberg Riesling No12, Saar, 2024
Continuing his masterful exploration of the Ayler Kupp, Florian Lauer's 'Unterstenberg' (Fass 12) highlights the lower, cooler slopes of this iconic Saar vineyard. The vines dig deep into moisture-retaining, shattered slate soils, yielding Riesling of immense concentration and striking verticality. Crafted with traditional, low-intervention techniques, the wine ferments naturally and ages on the lees to seamlessly integrate its structure. It is a deeply complex, nearly dry Riesling, delivering vibrant notes of white peach, lime zest, and crushed stone, finishing with a commanding, saline tension. Varietal: Riesling Appellation: Saar, Germany Farming: Sustainable, Low-Intervention Style: White. Dry to off-dry, tense and saline
