2025 Lauer, Peter - Riesling Barrel X Feinherb (750ml)

The Saar's greatest QPR wine and the calling card of fifth-generation winemaker Florian Lauer, who has made his family estate a reference point for serious German Riesling. Sourced from multiple vineyards across four villages of the Saar — Ayl, Saarburg, Wawern, and Wiltingen — with Florian explaining that Ayl and Wawern contribute fruit and power, Saarburg adds racy acidity, and Wiltingen brings the spice. Organically farmed, native yeast fermented, no fining agents. Ripe apricot on the nose, with a juicy and full palate, lively acidity, natural spritz, and a pronounced mineral note neatly underlined at the finish. Just slightly off-dry with enough tension and freshness to pair effortlessly with food. The gateway drug to Lauer, to the Saar, to Riesling. Drink now–2030
