Peter Lauer ‘No. 2’ Ayler Riesling Trocken - Saar, Germany
Producer's Notes:
Tapas, salted almonds, and parmesan on the table. In addition, our mash-fermented N° 2 offers a grippy, slightly melty texture. Exciting nutmeg notes fill the warm bouquet. It is a full-bodied and mildly acidic but – with ambient yeasts – dry-fermented wine with only 2 g/l residual sugar. A wine that cuts a fantastic figure with strong or salty-spicy dishes.
What we say:
From the steep, slate-laden slopes of Ayl in the Saar valley, this wine from renowned winemaker Peter Lauer offers a stunningly clean, mineral-driven take on Riesling in a dry format (“Trocken”). Crafted with precision and respect for place, it delivers pure varietal character, taut structure and unmistakable Saar expression.
On the nose you’ll be greeted by aromas of green apple, lime peel, white peach, crushed slate and fresh herbs. On the palate it’s sleek and electric: light-to-medium body, bright acidity, vivid orchard fruit supported by stony minerality, and a long, meticulously clean finish that stays cool and poised. While approachable now, it has the tension and texture to evolve further with cellaring.
