- WINEMAKER: Peter Lauer (family-led)
- FARMING: Sustainable farming practices, emphasizing soil health and biodiversity. The vineyards are farmed with a focus on creating wines that reflect the distinct character of the Mosel's unique terroir.
- VARIETY: 100% Riesling
- TERROIR: Sourced from the steep, slate-rich vineyards of the Mosel Valley, renowned for producing wines with vibrant acidity and mineral depth. The cool climate and terroir lend the grapes a slow, steady ripening process, ensuring a crisp and expressive wine.
- VINIFICATION: Fermented with native yeasts in large, neutral oak barrels, which contributes to a rich, textured mouthfeel while maintaining the bright, fresh character of Riesling. Minimal intervention is practiced to allow the wine to fully express its vineyard origins.
- AGING: Aged for several months in neutral oak barrels, where the wine gains subtle complexity and depth without overpowering the freshness of the fruit.
- TASTING NOTES: A beautifully balanced Riesling with aromas of ripe stone fruit, citrus peel, and a touch of flinty minerality. The palate is fresh and vibrant, with zesty acidity and flavors of green apple, lime, and a delicate hint of honeyed sweetness. The wine finishes with a crisp, refreshing minerality that is characteristic of the Mosel.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Ideal with seafood, particularly grilled shrimp or shellfish, as well as dishes like roasted chicken, spicy Asian cuisine, or soft cheeses like brie or goat cheese.
