Just off-dry Saar Riesling with passion fruit, mirabelle, pear and apple, lifted by mint, oregano and smoky slate. Playful, mouthwatering and crystalline, with zesty acidity adding lively pep.
Available in store
Close100% Riesling
Food pairings: Spicy dishes, light fish dishes and summery tapas, or simply on its own as a refreshing glass on a warm day.
Winemaking: Whole clusters are pressed and the juice ferments spontaneously with wild yeasts, then rests for two months on its lees. The Senior always sits on the line between dry and off-dry (trocken to feinherb): the 2025 has just a light touch of sweetness, balanced by bright, zesty Saar acidity. It was bottled in February 2026.
Vineyards and terroir: The Senior comes from the Ayler Kupp, the great slate hillside above Ayl on the Saar and a VDP Grosse Lage. Its southwest-facing parcel climbs at a 50% gradient, with vines around 52 years old rooted in slate.
Family and history: The Senior honors Peter Lauer I (1906-1991), who enjoyed a bottle of Riesling every day and each year chose one cask from the Kupp for a single wine to please all his guests, whether they preferred dry or fruity wines. Weingut Peter Lauer is based in Ayl on the Saar, where Florian Lauer, who made his first vintage in 2005, focuses on dry-tasting Rieslings fermented with natural yeasts.
