Lauer ‘Senior’ is Florian’s nod to making a style of wine his grandfather (Peter Lauer Sr.) would enjoy. Just off-dry wine with 8 g/l of residual sugar, made from fruit harvested from the original Kupp hill on a west-facing section towards Wawern. The wine is light yet fresh on the palate, with good intensity and length, and an aftertaste that already tastes dry and very light. This is a very good Senior N°6!

For purists, there is nothing like the Saar. Saar shows intensity without weight, grandiosity without size: rocks and acidity. Frank Schoonmaker put it best in his 1956 tome The Wines of Germany: “In these great and exceedingly rare wines of the Saar, there is a combination of qualities which I can perhaps best describe as indescribable – austerity coupled with delicacy and extreme finesse, an incomparable bouquet, a clean, very attractive hardness tempered by a wealth of fruit and flavor which is overwhelming.”
Yes, this is the Saar. Peter Lauer, founded in 1830, is currently one of greatest estates in this sacred place.
The Lauer family estate is located in Ayl. Ayl is a small village on the west side of the Saar River. The estate is planted exclusively to Riesling; some parcels are around a century old. The great majority of wines are sourced from the famed Ayler Kupp. Ayler Kupp is a single mountain that has an intricate tapestry of parcels and sub-parcels. Florian uses the pre-1971 vineyard names to designate and highlight these parcels. Florian wants to give each terroir the chance to express its personality.
