This is the dry, savory side of Ayl. No. 25 is Peter Lauer's village Riesling, fermented fully dry from the east-facing slopes of two sites, Scheidterberg and Rauberg. The family says those slopes show the spicy side of their Saar terroir. The wine is named the old-fashioned way, after the 25th cask in the cellar. The Lauers' importer has suggested thinking of it as a dry version of Barrel X. That's a useful way in: the same honest introduction to one of the Saar's rising stars, without the touch of sweetness. This house works with nothing but Riesling and picks its grapes by hand. It's now in its fifth generation, with Peter Lauer and his son Florian sharing the vineyard and cellar work since 2006. The 2025 leans herbal and salty, which is why the Lauers point it toward Mediterranean cooking. You get serious Saar character from a village-level bottle.

More about Peter Lauer

The Saar is our kind of region: cold and mineral-rich but with sun that makes Rieslings as succulent as they are perfectly seasoned with salt and racy acidity.

Peter Lauer makes some of our very favorite Saar wines. It's a bit hard to pin down exactly how Peter Lauer fits into today's Riesling zeitgeist. He's best known for his forward-leaning dry wines.

But he's not just a trippy natural grower. He's a neighbor of the great Egon Müller, and while their wines are oceans apart they share so many affinities, starting with a love for German tradition, terroir-specificity, and brilliance in Riesling. The Lauer wines are often described as drier, which is true as far as it goes; but even his driest wines have fruit and their own sort of decadence. They certainly have the Saar purity we love.

Probably, we just have to accept that there are multiple ways to express the greatness of the Saar.
