Ayl KUPP "Stirn" Riesling "Fass 15" (off-dry) VDP. Grosse Lage®

The Stirn is located on the summit ridge of the Ayler Kupp – one of the most famous Saar sites – and is one of the most demanding parcels of the Peter Lauer winery. Steep, shallow soil, coarse slate: a terroir that forces Riesling to achieve extraordinary depth.

Peter Lauer has been cultivating the Ayler Kupp for generations and is one of the defining names of the Saar. The old vines of the Stirn must root deep into the rock to find sufficient water and minerals – this requires strength and brings concentration. Fass 15 stands for the winery's traditional practice of maturing its wines parcel by parcel in wooden barrels and bottling them individually.

In the glass, it reveals an off-dry Riesling with cool, salty minerality as a common thread. Aromas of white peach, citrus zest, and slate, underpinned by a lively acidity structure that fully integrates the residual sugar. The finish is long, appearing dry, and characterized by a fine spice.

Peter Lauer stands for Mosel Riesling that brings the peculiarities of its origin clearly and unmistakably into the glass. At Vinoscout, you will find six white wines from the range that show what this region has to offer in terms of Riesling – mineral, precise, and with the typical interplay between fruit and acidity that makes the Mosel so special. With prices between around 25 and 36 euros, the wines are in a range that combines quality and accessibility.
