Peter Lauer, based in the Saar subregion of the Mosel, is one of Germany’s most acclaimed Riesling producers. Now run by Florian Lauer, the estate is celebrated for its meticulous vineyard work, low-intervention cellar practices, and focus on terroir-specific expressions—especially from the famed Kupp hill in Ayl.
Each wine is labeled with a barrel number (or “Fass”), reflecting Florian’s traditionalist approach and honoring the individuality of each bottling. “No. 4” is typically one of the most approachable and playful in the lineup, but still delivers the tension, slatey precision, and age-worthy structure that define Lauer’s style.
2024 Peter Lauer "No. 4" Ayler Riesling, Mosel, Germany
ABOUT THIS WINE
Lauer’s “No. 4” comes from the steep, slate-rich hillsides surrounding the village of Ayl, specifically from younger vines in the Grand Cru Kupp vineyard. The 2024 vintage saw a cool, extended ripening season, ideal for producing expressive yet precise Rieslings with vivid aromatics and vibrant acidity.
This is a feinherb (off-dry) style Riesling—an unofficial but traditional category in the Saar that balances residual sugar with striking natural acidity. Fermented with native yeasts in large neutral fuder casks, and left on the lees for texture, the wine is unfiltered and crafted with minimal intervention. “No. 4” offers a perfect entry into Lauer’s world: textural, slatey, and thirst-quenching. Ideal with spicy Asian cuisine, grilled trout, or soft cheeses.
