Production Methods

Practicing Organic

Wine made from grapes grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers and herbicides in the vineyard.

Staff Pick Notes

Along the banks of the Saar rise the impossibly steep vineyards of the village Ayl. Here you find a cooler climate than the vineyards along the Mosel River. The result are wines that teem with freshness, minerality, and focus. This is where Florian Lauer tends to his vineyards and makes some of the most captivating dry Rieslings you can find. He farms organically, and cultivates native yeasts in the vineyard and cellar. His sparkling sekt is so refreshing any time of the day. It is dry, crisp, and a touch flinty. Green apple and citrus abound in each sniff and taste. The bubbles are fine. You’ll want to take this to the beach every time.

They are careful to retain the delightful honeyed, flinty flavors that the best sweet Rieslings have always displayed. Alsace, of...
