Peter Lauer NO.15 "Stirn" Riesling

Origin: Saar-Mosel, Germany

Varietal: Riesling 

This off-dry Riesling is from a site on the top of a high elevation hill which sees very little water and has very little soil, subject to high winds. The grapes here have to struggle to grow, resulting in low yields which produce high-quality fruit with a rich, tropical profile. This wine has a bright acidity that balances the residual sugar. A complex and interesting wine that expresses the terroir of the hill upon which it is grown.
