Schönfels is where Florian Lauer revived a century-old vineyard on steep, rocky slopes overlooking the Saar—some sections farmed at perilous gradients requiring harnessed harvesters. This marks one of Germany’s most expressive sites, with remarkable complexity from its unique microclimate. Like all Lauer GGs, it exhibits profound minerality and classic Saar characteristics, though from an entirely distinct terroir.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 97

"The 2024 Riesling Ayler Schonfels Grosses Gewächs No. 11 is from a steep, windy cliff that drops down to the Saar. The nose initially is full of yeast, but air brings a touch of pepperiness. The palate is slender, stony and absolutely taut. It trembles with notes of arugula, pepper and lemon salt. The 2024 is so linear, clean-cut, wonderfully bracing and superbly precise." -Anne Krebiehl MW

Robert Parker

RP 93

"From 110-year-old vines that yielded extremely low last year, Lauer's 2024 Schonfels GG No. 11 shows a clearly defined, floral and elegant nose with ripe stone fruit, white peach and yellow plum aromas. Light, elegant and juicy as well as salty on the well-balanced palate, this sample reveals a fine, aromatic finish with good, promising length." -Stephan Reinhardt

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!
