The vineyards around Leiwen and Piesport are among the best slate slopes in the Moselle; the Layet vineyard lies on grey Devonian slate with a steep southern exposure. The wines are produced dry, with the aim of emphasizing the terroir\u0026#39;s typicity over fruitiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the glass, the 2021 vintage initially displays restrained citrus peel and grapefruit, beneath which lies a mineral core of slate and wet stone. With a little aeration, it opens up to herbs, white peach, and a hint of petrol – the classic Riesling marker that suggests aging potential. The acidity is precise and firm, the finish long and saline. Not a broad, opulent wine – rather lean, focused, and with drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Drinking window: 2025–2033. Available now, but will improve with two to three years of cellaring. Serving temperature: 10–12 °C.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e Grilled sea bass with lemon butter\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e Scallops with caper vinaigrette\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e Mature Comté or mountain cheese\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e Asian dishes with clear broth\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nik Weis St. Urbans-Hof","offers":[{"title":"2020","offer_id":53019437924688,"sku":"VJ0878-2020","price":34.45,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2021","offer_id":53019437957456,"sku":"VJ0878-2021","price":33.61,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/650322_0000_2211_ohneJg.png?v=1779109466","url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/products\/layet-riesling-gg","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
