2024 Peter Lauer Riesling Grand Cru Kern Fass 9, Mosel, Germany
$59.99
Named after the 19th century businessman who bought and cleared the land, these 70-year-old, ungrafted vines offer, consistently, one of Lauer's most compelling off-dry wines - something like the "Stirn" yet with a bit more body and density. Silly-good in 2024. - vB
MFW: "The 2024 Kern No. 9, as it is referred to in the central part of the label, is a fully off-dry wine (with 30 g/l of residual sugar) made from fruit harvested in a complete cross section (bottom to top) of a prime south-west-facing old-vine parcel (called Kern) situated well into the side valley on the original Ayler Kupp hill. It offers a beautifully complex and very attractive nose mixing fresh and minty elements with riper notes of yellow and almost tropical fruits, including passion fruit, tangerine, and mango, all wrapped in smoky scents from its spontaneous fermentation. The wine proves focused and zesty on the palate and proves even light-weighted yet intense and layered. The finish is even taut and quite spicy. This is really superb. 2029-2049."
