Peter Lauer 2023 Unterstenberg Riesling No. 12 – Premium German White Wine

Discover the bold elegance of Peter Lauer’s 2023 Mosel Riesling—a standout among dry German whites renowned for its mineral-rich complexity. Crafted in Germany’s iconic Mosel Valley, this wine embodies the region’s terroir through layers of slate-driven minerality and vibrant acidity. Since transitioning to a drier style post-2012, this vintage balances under 9g residual sugar with a powerful yet refined structure, offering a crisp yet creamy texture that lingers on the palate.

Floral citrus and stone fruit notes meet a schist-infused backbone, creating a wine that’s both approachable and layered. Its evolution over decades—from slightly off-dry styles in earlier years to today’s dry elegance—highlights Lauer’s commitment to innovation. The mid-palate reveals glycerin-like richness cut by bright acidity, making it equally suited for sipping solo or pairing with bold dishes like seafood or herb-crusted meats.

At 12% alcohol by volume, this Riesling offers refreshing balance without heaviness. Perfect for fans of complex dry whites seeking depth without sweetness, it stands apart as one of Mosel’s most compelling expressions of terroir-driven Riesling. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for future development, its multifaceted character ensures lasting enjoyment.

A testament to Peter Lauer’s mastery, this wine captures Mosel’s essence while pushing boundaries—ideal for adventurous palates seeking sophistication in every sip.
