2025 Lauer, Peter - Riesling Barrel X Feinherb (750ml)
2025 Lauer, Peter – Riesling Barrel X Feinherb (750ml)
From the Saar’s finest QPR wine and the calling card of fifth-generation winemaker Florian Lauer, this Riesling Barrel X Feinherb embodies the estate’s reputation for serious German Riesling. Sourced from four Saar villages—Ayl, Saarburg, Wawern, and Wiltingen—the blend captures distinct terroirs: Ayl and Wawern contribute fruit and power, Saarburg adds racy acidity, and Wiltingen brings spice. The wine is organically farmed, native-yeast fermented, and bottled without fining agents, preserving its expressive character.
On the nose, ripe apricot leads into a juicy, full palate with lively acidity and a natural spritz. A pronounced mineral note underlines the finish, delivering a crisp, lingering edge that complements the wine’s just-off-dry style.
This Feinherb is designed to pair effortlessly with food, offering enough tension to stand up to flavors while remaining approachable now through 2030.

- Spicy Asian dishes (Thai, Sichuan) to balance heat with bright fruit and acidity
