Peter Lauer is a distinguished family-run winery located in the heart of the Mosel Valley, celebrated for its exceptional Rieslings. With a philosophy rooted in minimal intervention and a profound respect for the land, Peter Lauer’s wines are a true reflection of the region's unique terroir. The 'Senior' Riesling is a testament to the winery’s commitment to balance, finesse, and complexity, crafted from select parcels of old vines that impart depth and character to the wine.
- WINEMAKER: Peter Lauer (family-led)
- FARMING: Sustainable farming practices with a focus on soil health, biodiversity, and minimal use of chemicals. The estate is committed to organic viticulture, allowing the natural environment to guide the wine's expression.
- VARIETY: 100% Riesling
- TERROIR: The grapes for 'Senior' are sourced from some of the oldest vines in the Mosel, planted on steep, slate-rich slopes. This region’s cool climate and unique terroir—characterized by mineral-driven soils and steep vineyard slopes—provide ideal conditions for growing Riesling with intense acidity and a rich, nuanced profile.
- VINIFICATION: Fermented with native yeasts in large, neutral oak casks, which allow the wine to mature slowly while preserving its freshness and expressive fruit character. The traditional methods employed by Peter Lauer ensure that the wine retains its purity while gaining added complexity.
- AGING: Aged for several months in neutral oak barrels, which imparts subtle texture and complexity without overwhelming the fruit’s natural expression. The wine undergoes a period of lees contact to add richness and depth.
- TASTING NOTES: The 'Senior' Riesling is an elegant wine with aromas of citrus blossom, ripe orchard fruit, and a touch of wet stone minerality. The palate is vibrant and focused, showcasing zesty acidity and flavors of green apple, lime, and hints of honeycomb. Dry in style, the finish is long, dry, and crisp, with a distinctive mineral-driven edge that is characteristic of the Mosel.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: This wine is perfect with seafood, especially dishes like grilled fish, lobster, or crab. It also pairs wonderfully with light Asian dishes, poultry, or creamy cheeses like goat cheese and aged gouda.
