Weingut Lauer Riesling "Unterstenberg" Trocken No. 12 2023 750ml

The 2023 Unterstenberg N°12, as it is referred to in the central part of the label, is a dry wine (with 8 g/l of residual sugar) made from fruit picked in the similarly named prime Lieu-Dit forming the south-southwest facing, front part of the original Kupp hill (at the foot of the hill). This bright hay- yellow-colored wine offers a very attractive nose made of pear, creamy elements, spices, grapefruit puree, white flowers, and smoke. It is nicely playful on the subtly creamy palate and leaves a smooth feel of herbs and minerals in the finish. The aftertaste develops more cut. Despite being open, we feel that this wine will benefit from a few years of bottle aging to integrate its elements and develop more cut. It could then warrant a higher rating
