Peter Lauer Riesling Barrel X 2024

Where: Mosel , GermanyGrapes: Riesling FeinherbBody: Light / off dry Category: White Wine  Winemaker Florian Lauer is based in the Saar, a smaller tributary at the bottom of the Upper Mosel. The estate is named for his father, Peter Lauer, but Florian has been at the helm since 2005 and farms everything organically. All the wines are fermented in stainless steel and then transferred to fuder for lees aging. The estate uses 'fass' or barrel numbers to identify each wine . Barrel X is unique in that it takes its name from the fact that it doesn't have a specific barrel.  The wine is considered off-dry, or feinherb, but its intense acidity and minerality provide excellent balance, making the sweetness hardly noticeable.
