Mosel, Germany— “Barrel X” is winemaker Florian Lauer’s Platonic ideal of what a slightly off-dry (feinherb) Saar Riesling should be. Sourced from vineyards in four different villages of the Saar.
750ml bottle that delivers as much joy and zing. Grown on and handpicked on steep vineyards. No use of insecticides/pesticides or fertilizers, practicing organic but not certified, no copper spray. Whole-cluster pressed directly, with short maceration. Native yeasts and no fining agents or any other elements or products are ever added. Wines mature in a mixture of stainless steel, fiberglass and traditional Fuder for 1-6 months on the lees, depending on the cuvee.
No fining agents are used. The wines are lightly filtered with diatomaceous earth; vegan.
