2010 Peter Lauer Ayler Kupp Riesling Fass 6 “Senior,” Saar-Mosel, Germany
This biodynamic dry Riesling crafted from hand-picked grapes is a real standout, starting from its exciting, floral nose to its lush, wild, almost herbal, mouth-coating tropical fruit. Mango meets fresh-picked thyme, picking up trace amounts of oak and beachwood, and finishes crisply with vibrant acidity and slate-stone minerality. Delicious. Serve with pan-seared Mahi Mahi with spicy-sweet soy vinaigrette or for a more unusual pairing combination, try it with North Carolina-style pork barbecue. I guarantee you’ll fall in love.
