Description
A glorious touch of orange and mandarin peel tinges the lemon notes of this vivid Riesling from an iconic Saar site of Devonian slate. Zestiness pervades the juicy palate and the stony depth seems buffered by layers of citrus. The concentration becomes apparent gradually, as does the real ripeness which is countered and enriched by that bright, aromatic, alluring zestiness. In a year like 2019 and in the hands of Florian Lauer, the ripeness of the grapes is turned into absolute purity of fruit and stony precision

Riesling
Riesling grapes have been grown in and around central Europe for centuries, and over time, they became the lasting symbol of south Germany’s ancient and proud wine culture. Whilst the reputation of German wines abroad has in the past been mixed, the Germans themselves take an enormous amount of pride in their wineries, and Riesling grapes have now spread around the globe, growing anywhere with the correct climate in which they can thrive. Riesling grape varietals generally require much cooler climatic conditions than many other white grapes, and they are generally considered to be a very ‘terroir expressive’ varietal, meaning that the features and characteristics of the terroir they are grown on comes across in the flavors and aromas in the bottle. It is this important feature which has allowed Riesling wines to be elevated into the category of ‘fine’ white wines, as the features of the top quality bottles are generally considered to be highly unique and offer much to interest wine enthusiasts.
