Wine Description:
Peter Lauer Senior Fass 6 Riesling is a tribute to Grandfather Peter Lauer I. (1906-1991), who had a daily tradition of savoring a bottle of Riesling. Each year, he selected a barrel from the Ayler Kupp vineyard, aiming to create a wine that would delight all his guests, whether fans of dry or fruity wines. This wine, crafted by Peter and Florian Lauer, pays homage to his taste preferences. The grapes are sourced from Ayler Kupp's steep, south-west-facing slopes with slate soil. Harvested in mid-October, the whole grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation, and the wine rests on lees for three months, imparting a delicate smoothness. Fass 6, reminiscent of the grandfather's palate, is an everyday favorite, redolent with herbal, wild berry, and sesame notes, delivering a wonderfully engaging experience.
Pros:
  • High-quality Riesling from the Ayler Kupp vineyard in Germany

4.6
Manfred Breit's Riesling Spätlese is produced from late harvested bunches of grapes sourced from the Piesporter Goldtröpfchen vineyard. The vineyard's ideal exposition and slate soils, also contribute to the grapes' ripeness and intensity of flavor. After gently pressing, the grapes are fermented in neutral vessels to retain the purity of fruit. Fermentation is halted prior to completion in order to retain sweetness in the wine, helping to offset the racy acidity typical of Riesling grown in the marginal climate of the Mosel.
