On the nose, the Peter Lauer Schonfels Faß 11 Riesling GG reveals notes of citrus fruits and yellow stone fruit, with a hint of sage and eucalyptus. On the palate, it is dry, lean, and delicate, with beautiful slate spice and incredible length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSchonfels Riesling GG – Winemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vines on the Schonfels rock face high above the Saar were planted over 100 years ago, at a time when wines from Bordeaux or Burgundy were almost unaffordable, but when Saar wines commanded double or triple the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, the small berries of the 100-year-old vines release only a few liters of concentrated essence. They grow on fine, weathered slate on one of the few top vineyards on the Saar, whose summit is not protected by forest cover. Thus, there is always some wind here, which dries the grapes after rain and keeps them healthy longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the hand harvest on the steep Schonfels (70% gradient) at the end of October, whole-bunch pressing takes place. Wild yeasts ensure spontaneous fermentation, and the wine remains on the lees for 6 months. Afterwards, it shows the true soul of Riesling: pure and genuine and truly captivating. The slate shows its distinctive spice and enormous salinity, with notes of white pepper and curry remaining for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeinwirtschaft awarded it 95\/100 points.
