The 2024 Peter Lauer Senior Fass 6 Riesling is a wine that bridges past and present, capturing the spirit of the Saar’s old-school dry-tasting style while delivering remarkable precision and depth. Named in honor of Florian Lauer’s grandfather, who famously marked Fass (barrel) #6 for his own cellar selections in the 1950s, this bottling has become a touchstone for those who seek Rieslings of both tradition and modern elegance.
Product Details:

- Alcohol: 12.1%

Sensory Description:
The wine opens with a dazzling interplay of stone fruit and citrus, layered over a backbone of slate-driven minerality. Aromas of white peach, grapefruit zest, and Meyer lemon mingle with savory herbs, woodruff, and a smoky, flinty edge. On the palate, the 2024 Senior Fass 6 is sleek and vibrant, with razor-sharp acidity softened by a whisper of residual sugar, creating impeccable balance. Its texture is polished, almost creamy, yet it remains tensile and nervy, leading to a long, clean, mineral-driven finish.
Winemaker's Background:
Weingut Peter Lauer, based in the village of Ayl, is revered for its expressive Saar Rieslings that celebrate terroir and tradition. Florian Lauer, one of Germany’s most respected young winemakers, crafts wines with minimal intervention, allowing natural ferments and vineyard expression to shine. The “Senior” bottling is both a tribute to his grandfather and a living expression of a style that defined Saar wines for generations: dry tasting, crystalline, and full of character.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve at 8–10 °C (46–50 °F) in a medium-sized Riesling glass to allow its aromatics to expand. This Riesling is versatile at the table, pairing beautifully with grilled trout, roasted chicken with lemon, or herb-driven vegetarian dishes. It is also superb on its own, offering a pure expression of Saar Riesling for casual sipping or celebratory occasions.
The 2024 Peter Lauer Senior Fass 6 Riesling delivers extraordinary value and complexity, standing proudly among the world’s most compelling white wines. A benchmark expression of Saar craftsmanship, it is a wine to savor now or to cellar for deeper nuance over the next decade.
