2021 Peter Lauer 'FASS 21 'AYL' 1G Riesling - SAAR, GERMANY. 750ml
The 2021er Ayler 1G, as it is referred to on the central part of the label, is a dry Riesling made from fruit picked in the Lieu-Dit Scheiderberg, a north-east facing sector legally in the Ayler Kupp vineyard but forming the heart of the Scheidterberg hill (this sector has been classified as “VDP.Erste Lage” by the VDP Mosel hence the 1G). It offers a superb nose made of citrusy fruits, smoke, wet stone, and floral elements (a signature of the Scheidterberg hill). The wine feels smooth rather than dry on the otherwise superbly airy and elegant palate. It leaves a gorgeous feel of fresh orchard fruits, citrusy elements, smoke, and flowers, all wrapped into quite creamy elements in the long and suave finish. The acidity only comes through in the aftertaste. This debut vintage of this “Erste Lage” wine is hugely promising!
