Peter Lauer Riesling 'Fass #6 Senior'

"Grandfather Peter Lauer I (1906–1991) used to enjoy a bottle of Riesling every day. It smelled wonderful, tasted dry, but finely balanced with a hint of fruit on the palate. Every year, he chose a cask from Ayler Kupp. He placed particular emphasis on a single wine for all his guests, which appealed to both the dry wine drinker and the lover of fruity wines. As a tribute to this famous “Senior” wine, we vinify a worthy successor every year that grandfather would like to taste."-Peter Lauer website

This is a beautiful Riesling coming from the Saar in the Mosel Valley. Off-dry, juicy, and ringing with that iconic Mosel Riesling acidity. A great introduction into the style of Lauer, and another brilliant example of what makes the Mosel one of the most sought regions for Riesling in the world.
