About the Producer

‘This small traditional Saar wine producer in Ayl bottles some of the finest, most classic Rieslings in Germany: pure, precise, piquant, racy, mineral and chiselled, but also ripe, concentrated, compact and complex.’ (Stephan Reinhardt, The Finest Wines of Germany).

From relative obscurity when he took over more than fifteen years ago, Florian Lauer has elevated this estate to one of the foremost in Germany.

Florian is one of the most thoughtful winemakers we have in our portfolio. He is an independent spirit – studying winemaking at Montpelier in southern France rather than in Geisenheim, for example – but he is no maverick. He has a strong interest in science, and is always ready with a detailed and fascinating explanation of his practices.

Early on he decided to have as little adverse impact on the environment as he could, but did not apply for organic certification. Although he uses no herbicides, he abhors copper – pretty much the only weapon in the organic arsenal against fungus – for its harmful long-term effects on vineyard soils. Instead he employs an organic ‘curative’ fungicide, which reduces the amount of required treatments by half, thereby further lowering the environmental cost. His fertiliser is organic, sourced from local cattle and horse farms, and he has upgraded his agricultural machines to be as light as possible to avoid soil compaction.

In the cellar, only wild yeasts are used, and the wines are not fined. His corks are carbon neutral, and he does not use capsules – further reducing his carbon footprint. He derives most of his power from solar energy, and all estate vehicles are now electric. And finally, his cartons are reusable, and require no tape to seal.

Florian’s primary goal is for his wines to reflect the place where the grapes were grown. As such, he vinifies each parcel with different soils separately, even from within the same vineyard. To taste them is to see just how transparent a wine can be. It helps that he has very old vines of up to 100 years, and as you would expect, the wines are vibrant, pure and very exciting.
About the Latest Vintage

The growing season was not easy: high rainfall from May through August brought disease pressure, and also made the steep slopes difficult to work. Although temperatures remained cool, the autumn brought fine weather with lots of sunshine, which balanced the stony freshness of the wines with some yellow but mostly cool green fruit.

After three hot vintages, this is a classic Saar year, and will go down as one of the greats. Retasting these GGs in late August, it has become clear how seriously good they are. They have a depth and intensity unmatched by other wines from the region and although austere now, will unfold to show their glories after a few years in bottle.
