2024 Peter Lauer Riesling Spatlese Ayler Kupp Fass 7, Mosel, Germany
$45.00
The same culture, the same fashion and vogue, that has given us treasures like ultra-processed food, congress, social media, and paddle ball is also pushing against wines like Spätlese. Honestly, fuck fashion and vogue. Spätlese as an act of social rebellion? Yes. This is so damn crisp it'll shut the haters up - just under seventy grams of beautiful, beautiful fructose (that's less than many Kabinett) and damn near 10 grams of acid to make your palate reverberate. - vB
MFW: "The 2024 Kupp Spätlese No. 7, as it is referred to in the central part of the label, was made from fruit harvested from vineyards on the original Kupp hill and was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar (67 g/l). This cask sample delivers a beautifully aromatic, ripe, and precise nose of tangerine, mango, yellow peach, pineapple, orange zest, and smoke, all wrapped into bakery notes. The wine has great concentration and presence on the palate, not unlike that of a richer Auslese. It has great length and intensity in the very long, rich, yet well balanced finish. It has a great kick of acidity in the very long after-taste. 2034-2054"
