The Peter Lauer Estate is one of the leading Estates in the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region for the production of dry and off-dry wines today.
However, in our 2003 retrospective, it was clear that already back then, this Estate was already producing superb wines. This wine also shows the wonders that aging can do: This Kabinett started life as off-dry and yet, 10 years on, it now tastes dry without any undue austerity. What a beautiful wine!

Ayler Kupp Riesling Kabinett Fass 11

This beauty offers a great nose of spices, citrus, smoke, quince and some beeswax which gives way to a great feeling of focused intensity on the palate. The wine is slightly round on the mid-palate but fully dry in the finish (it only has 13 g/l of residual sugar) and leaves a long smooth yet racy feel. This is really impressive! Now-2018
