From the steepest part of Kupp, the GG version pulls from a 1956 planting that despite its altitude and slope, gets a great bit of sunshine. The tiny berries will thus generate great extract and complexity, with milder acidity and a minerality that is complemented by a delicate spicy nature.

As a Riesling producer in the Saar, perhaps for some there is the thought that there exists Egon Müller, and then there is everyone else; Florian Lauer, in his tenure creating the Lauer wines, has moved heaven and earth quietly to dispel this notion.

Peter Lauer

From the hills of Kupp, a tremendous terrain in the Saar, Florian Lauer has largely championed the  dry-er wines, but also creates a few off-dry versions each vintage. One thing we notice continually with the Lauer bottles is how amazingly pure and open they are upon release; generally with wines of this structure and quality, there is a waiting period imposed upon the collector, yet Lauer's wines seem to transcend this. While one might think this makes them less age-worthy, I am here to trash that thought, as well. 

When you see "Fass" (aka Faß, in the traditional German), that alludes to the barrel number - associating a large barrel and the juice from one particular vineyard will allow for a more consistent and unique impression from each site!

The Ayler Riesling 2022 Kupp GG Fass 18 is perhaps the finest of Lauer's crus I tasted in Wiesbaden at the Vorpremiere VDP.Grosses Gewächs in August 2023. The wine starts with cool, fresh, aromatic and very fine Kupp slate spiciness on the nose. In the mouth, it is juicy and elegant, balanced and already singing. On the finish, this fine-bodied or filigreed Riesling is salty and finishes with stimulating spiciness. A classic.
