2023 Peter Lauer Riesling Stirn Fass 15, Mosel, Germany
$48.99
"The 2023 'Stirn” No. 15, as it is referred to in the central part of the label, is a fully off-dry wine (with 34 g/l of residual sugar) made from fruit picked in the prime south-west-facing, upper-front part of the original Ayler Kupp hill. It offers a still somewhat backward nose made of grapefruit, white flowers, wet stone, mint, and smoke on the nose. The wine develops a touch of fruit-loaded creaminess at first on the palate which gives way to a nicely tart and mouthwatering feel in the long and quite vibrant finish. Grapefruit and minerals make for a superb feel in the aftertaste." Mosel Fine Wines, No. 72
