Peter Lauer 'Kern' Ayler Kupp Fass 9 Riesling, Mosel, Germany 2025 1.5L

From Florian Lauer, one of the Saar's most exciting and respected winemakers, comes this beautifully expressive Riesling from the historic Ayler Kupp vineyard. Sourced from the Kern parcel, planted with approximately 70-year-old vines on steep, southwest-facing slate slopes, Fass 9 captures the remarkable aromatic intensity and precision of this exceptional site. The 2025 vintage offers enticing aromas of passion fruit, gooseberry, citrus, and fresh herbs, followed by a vibrant, beautifully textured palate balancing juicy orchard fruit, refreshing acidity, and unmistakable slate minerality. Off-dry in style, with a wonderful interplay of fruit sweetness and electric acidity, it finishes fresh, focused, and remarkably persistent. A gorgeous expression of Saar Riesling, particularly compelling in magnum format.
