Förster winery in Trier. The grapes grew in 2016 on the steep blue Devonian slate slopes around Ayl on the Saar – a year that endowed the Riesling with unusual tension, freshness, and mineral depth. What started as a still base wine has, after so many years on the lees, matured into a fine, complex Sekt that uncompromisingly embodies the artisanal approach of the winery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIn the glass, it presents a brilliant, deep golden hue with a very fine, long-lasting perlage. The bouquet is dark and complex: ripe yellow apple, a hint of candied citrus zest, along with smoky slate notes, toasted brioche, and a delicate, almost salty spice from the long yeast aging. On the palate, the Sekt is both precise and creamy, powerful and vibrant, supported by a razor-sharp Saar acidity and a fine, lively mousse. The finish is very long, slaty, and with cool, mineral elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Sekt is produced using the traditional Champagne method: individual bottle fermentation, with riddling performed manually on riddling racks. Subsequently, the wine ages for about four years at a consistently cool eight degrees Celsius on fine lees; it is disgorged and given a minimal Brut dosage only shortly before delivery. This preserves the character of the vintage undiminished – a Sekt that claims the same seriousness and terroir authenticity as the winery's still wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA first-class Saar Crémant with depth, spice, and fine maturity. We recommend serving it not in a narrow flute, but in a white wine glass or tulip glass, so that its full aromatic depth can unfold.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VDP.Weingut Peter Lauer","offers":[{"title":"2016 \/ 0.75 l","offer_id":53081761415434,"sku":"DE06184077516","price":50.04,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/1726\/6442\/files\/PaterLauerCremantRieslingBrut2016.webp?v=1780746207","url":"https:\/\/weinundnielsen.de\/en-fi\/products\/prestige-cremant-riesling-brut-vdp-weingut-peter-lauer","provider":"Wein \u0026 Nielsen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
