German Riesling: The World’s Best Value White Wine? | Weingut Peter Lauer

#wine #winetasting #drink #cocktail

In this episode of Neutral Oak, we travel to the Saar to visit one of Germany's most celebrated Riesling producers, Weingut Peter Lauer. Join us as we fly over the steep slate vineyards, walk the terraces with the winery, and sit down for a tasting of some of their finest bottlings.

Peter Lauer has been farming vines in Ayl and Schonfels for generations, and today Florian Lauer continues the family's work of crafting precise, mineral-driven Rieslings from some of the Saar's most storied sites. In this video, we visit three of them: Kupp, Unterstenberg, and Lambertskirch — each with its own distinct character, exposition, and soil composition, and each contributing something different to the Lauer portfolio.

We dig into the history of the estate, the nuances of these individual parcels, and what makes this cool-climate region one of the most exciting corners of the wine world.
