Call this the gateway drug to the Saar. Florian Lauer, fifth generation and one of Germany's brightest Riesling stars, blends fruit from four villages into Barrel X: power from Ayl and Wawern, racy acidity from Saarburg, spice from Wiltingen. It sits just off-dry, feinherb in the German shorthand, meaning a whisper of sweetness that ripe fruit and zippy acidity swallow whole. Think of it as the Saar's answer to Bourgogne Blanc, an honest introduction to a great estate that won't require a second mortgage. Farmed organically, fermented with native yeast, and dangerously easy to finish.

More about Peter Lauer

The Saar's excellent, affordable rising star. Florian Lauer (fifth generation, admitted to the VDP in 2013) has made his family estate a reference point for serious German Riesling at prices that don't require a second mortgage. They farm organically, ferment native yeast, employ no fining agents, and release wines—especially the incredible value Barrel entries—that prove great terroir transcends pretension.

WINE GUIDES

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
