"The Saar Valley is relatively high above sea level. The vines grow here at heights of up to 350 meters. At the same time, the wide-open valley offers unhindered access to cool winds. The maturation time is therefore extended and mineral notes in the wine are enhanced. Cool nights ensure large temperature amplitudes, which particularly promote the aromatic character of the Riesling grape. Grandfather Peter Lauer I (1906–1991) used to enjoy a bottle of Riesling every day. It smelled wonderful, tasted dry, but finely balanced with a hint of fruit on the palate. Every year, he chose a cask from Ayler Kupp. He placed particular emphasis on a single wine for all his guests, which appealed to both the dry wine drinker and the lover of fruity wines. As a tribute to this famous “Senior” wine, we vinify a worthy successor every year that grandfather would like to taste."-Winery
