Importer Notes:

“It tends to be one of the broadest and most powerful of Lauers dry wines. Because of the ample water, it has a mineral expression that is multifaceted, complex, deep. Interestingly, Unterstenberg is one of the few Lauer wines that has changed its signature dramatically at times; in the late 2000s the wine tended to be rather Feinherb in style. Since 2012, for reasons unknown to Florian, the wine has been fermenting closer to dry, having a dry tasting style not dissimilar to Senior and has shed sugar, first from a bit under 20, to then 15 and now in 2019 and 2020, even lower it is dry this vintage at under 9 grams residual sugar. I love it in this dry / drier form, with the schmalzy, glycerin depth of the mid-palate emphasized and defined by the aciditys cut and lift.”

Alcohol: 12%
