2020 Peter Lauer Ayler Kupp Stirn Riesling Fass 15 Grosse Lage
All wines stored at 55° and 70% humidity
Stirn tends to be one of the most nervous, linear and soaring of all of Lauer’s wines. It rarely ferments much past 30 grams of residual sugar per liter, thus it certainly is an off-dry Riesling. And yet, because of the extraordinarily high acidity (and low pH), the wine never tastes very sweet. In fact, the razor-sharp grip and density of the wine can make it feel almost dry, at least on the rather gripping finish. For what it’s worth, I believe this is one of Florian’s—and one of the Saar’s—most profound expressions of Riesling.
