2024 Peter Lauer Riesling Kabinett Ayler Kupp Fass 8, Mosel, Germany
$36.00
Lauer, in the end, makes the driest-tasting Kabinetts around, period. Among the lightest and most petite of Kupp Kabinetts in a long while - damn.
MFW: "The 2024 Kupp Kabinett No. 8, as it is referred to in the central part of the label, was made from fruit harvested on the original Kupp hill and was fermented down to fully off-dry levels of residual sugar (31 g/l). It initially proves still quite reductive, but quickly shows great complexity and freshness of spearmint, lime, white peach, spices, freshly cut herbs, herbal tea, and wet stone. The wine proves light-weighted and very pure on the palate and leaves an off-dry rather than fully fruity, long finish. This is a great drinking Kabinett. 2032-2044"
