Peter Lauer is a family-owned winery located in the Mosel region of Germany, renowned for producing exceptional Riesling and sparkling wines. With a focus on low-intervention winemaking and a commitment to expressing the true character of their vineyards, Peter Lauer’s Sekt is a reflection of the region’s distinctive terroir and the family’s dedication to quality and tradition.
- WINEMAKER: Peter Lauer (family-led)
- FARMING: Sustainable farming practices, with a focus on maintaining biodiversity and vineyard health.
- VARIETY: 100% Riesling
- TERROIR: The grapes for this Sekt are sourced from steep, slate-soil vineyards in the Mosel, one of the most renowned terroirs for Riesling. The region's cool climate, combined with the steep slopes, allows for the slow ripening of the grapes, ensuring the preservation of acidity and freshness.
- VINIFICATION: The wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle (traditional method), with extended lees contact to add complexity and depth. Fermented with native yeasts to preserve the wine's natural expression of place.
- AGING: Aged on its lees for a minimum of 12 months, giving the wine its fine mousse and rich, complex mouthfeel.
- TASTING NOTES: A delicate sparkling wine with aromas of green apple, citrus zest, and subtle floral notes. The palate is crisp, with lively acidity balanced by a creamy texture from the extended lees aging. The finish is clean, with a refreshing minerality typical of the Mosel terroir.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Perfect as an aperitif or paired with seafood, particularly oysters, or light dishes such as sushi and goat cheese salad.
