German wine fans should expect to see more of these “1G” wines going forward. Essentially a “Premier Cru” wine, these can be made from either single-vineyard, “premier cru-designated” sites or, as Lauer does, a blend of premier cru-designated sites from a village. This wine is sourced from top parcels in and around Ayl; in essence a “baby GG” the wine has all the density and texture you’d expect from a top Lauer wine.
Mosel Fine Wines
The 2022er Ayler 1G, as it is referred to on the central part of the label, is a dry Riesling made from fruit picked in the Lieu-Dit Scheiderberg, a north-east facing sector legally in the Ayler Kupp vineyard but forming the heart of the Scheidterberg hill (this sector has been classified as “VDP.Erste Lage” by the VDP Mosel hence the 1G). This cask sample offers a beautifully complex and appealing nose of wild herbs, gingerbread, ginger, sea breeze, and vineyard peach. The wine is delicately smooth and juicy on the palate, and leaves a superbly spicy and salty finish. This is a great dry Riesling.
