Named after Grandfather Peter Lauer, who insisted on one wine for all his guests—this off-dry Riesling bridges dry-wine and fruit-wine lovers with uncanny grace. From 70-year-old ungrafted vines on slate slopes around Ayl in the Saar, it ferments to that perfect balance: nearly dry on the palate yet textural and complex with incredible depth. Bright citrus like candied lime and grapefruit zest emerge alongside pale peach and subtle white flowers, offering elegance without excess alcohol. A single-vineyard wine in a village-class bottle, a secret worth discovering.

"From the Rauberg and the Scheidterberg, the 2025 Ayl No. 6 "Senior" is bright, pure, fresh and crystalline on the savory and slaty nose. Textured and finely juicy on the palate, this is a light, moderately sweet (12 grams per liter of residual sugar) and immediately accessible Riesling with typical Saar expression that is sharp but lush, savory and sensual at the same time. This should be excellent with spicy dishes. Bottled in February this year. 11% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted at the domaine in March 2026." —Stephan Reinhardt

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.
