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

Peter Lauer in Ayl is one of the Saar's reference estates. Florian Lauer, the fifth generation, took over from his father in 2006 and put it firmly on the map; it joined the VDP in 2013. Thirteen hectares, all Riesling, from great sites like Kupp, Saarfeilser and Schonfels. No herbicides, wild-yeast fermentation and no fining agents. Every wine carries a Fass number, because each vineyard ferments in the same cask every year. Serious Riesling at prices that don't require a second mortgage.

Fresh + Approachable

Fresh but decent complexity for the price - I get compliments from everyone I introduce to this wine. Excellent value to price ratio. I prefer the 2024 vintage to the 2025 -- the 2024 had more perceived minerality while the 2025 is stronger on green apple, pear and citrus notes

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!
