Since 1830, viticulture has been carried out in the Könen/Lauer house in Ayl on the Saar. Winegrower Matthias Lauer married the daughter of Matthias Könen in 1904 and took over the winegrowing business in 1913. Lauer added his vineyard holdings to it.
In 1973, Peter Lauer (II) took over the estate with vineyards in the best sites on the Saar in the greater Mosel region. Since 2006, father Peter and son Florian have been working together in the vineyard and cellar, relying on handpicked, vegan, and sustainable still wines, sparkling wines, and crémants made exclusively from Riesling.
Riesling is our passion at Weingut Peter Lauer. Our wine estate in Ayl has among the best steep slopes on the Saar. In addition to the famous Ayler Kupp, we cultivate two other important vineyards in the Mosel region: the Saar Feilser directly above the river and the steeply sloping vineyard Schonfels, a little farther upstream. Recently, we also replanted and recultivated the now forgotten Lambertskirch, just a stone’s throw from Schonfels.
Our white wines have been among the best in the Saar for many years. Since 2013, we have been a member of the VDP (Association of German Prädikat Wine Estates). Our wines from VDP.GROSSEN LAGEN® in the dry and off-dry styles are particularly special.
Our Kabinett builds on the long tradition of delicately fruity Saar wines with a record-breaking 7 to 8% alcohol. The shelf life is long, but with its wonderfully open fruit of herbs and berries, it is a lot of fun even in its youth. The concise Saar mineral notes playfully balance the opulent fruit. Unlike the Spätlese, the Kabinett is not obtained from over-ripeness but by selecting fully ripe and 100% healthy grapes. This is how freshness and fruit are preserved. It is an extremely stimulating wine that gives elegant pleasure.
