Peter Lauer, Riesling Fass 1 Ayler Trocken/Feinherb 2022 No. 1 2022

Another village level off-dry, this is sourced from various parcels on the “Grand Cru” Kupp – as such this is more the equivalent of “Senior.” This is a “Grand Cru” wine declassified and sold at village-level pricing. This tends to be a bit deeper and broader-shouldered than the Fass 4; it has more mineral complexity and more depth.

Ayler has been a regular guest on wine lists in German restaurants since the 1920s and was described in a charming way with the attributes: “natural, flowery, spicy, demanding”. This description has not lost any of its validity over 100 years.
