Description
The Saar is our kind of region: cold and mineral-rich but with sun that makes Rieslings as succulent as they are perfectly seasoned with salt and racy acidity.
Peter Lauer makes some of our very favorite Saar wines. It’s a bit hard to pin down exactly how Peter Lauer fits into today’s Riesling zeitgeist. He’s best known for his forward-leaning dry wines.
But he’s not just a trippy natural grower. He’s a neighbor of the great Egon Mller, and while their wines are oceans apart they share so many affinities, starting with a love for German tradition, terroir-specificity, and brilliance in Riesling. The Lauer wines are often described as drier, which is true as far as it goes; but even his driest wines have fruit and their own sort of decadence. They certainly have the Saar purity we love
