Peter Lauer Riesling Kabinett Ayler Fass 87 2020

90 points Mosel Fine Wines: “The N°87 Ayler Kabinett 2020, as it is referred to in the central part of the label, was made from fruit picked at 80° Oechsle from fruit in the village class hills of Ayl (Scheidterberg, Rauberg, and Sonnenberg) and was fermented down to fully fruity-styled levels of residual sugar (55 g/l). It offers a smoky and rather restrained nose of white flowers, herbs, anise, mint, and ground spices. The wine is surprisingly fruity (pear, peach, apple) and aromatic on the palate. This sweetness is however nicely wrapped into zesty notes in the finish of this lively expression of Kabinett. 2026-2035. (Jul 2021)”

Importer notes: “In 2020 this wine is fermented to classic fruity levels of Kabinett with 55g/l of RS with a jaw dropping nearly 10g of acidity and just 7.2% alcohol leading to a filligree and stunning wine.”
