Importer notes: "'Barrel X' is winemaker Florian Lauer’s Platonic ideal of what a slightly off-dry (feinherb) Saar Riesling should be. If we were in Burgundy, this would be the equivalent of a 'Bourgogne Blanc.' As an appellation-level wine, it is sourced from multiple vineyards in four different villages of the Saar: Ayl (Lauer’s home village), Saarburg, Wawern and Wiltingen. Florian says, 'From Ayl and Wawern, the wine gains the fruit and power, from Saarburg the racy acidity, and from Wiltingen, the spice.' Alcohol 10.5%."
Mosel Fine Wines: "The 2022er Riesling Feinherb Barrel X is an off-dry wine (with 21 g/l of residual sugar) which comes for half from Estate vineyards and for half from purchased fruit. It proves still slightly reductive at first and only gradually reveals fresh notes of minty herbs, smoke, lime, stone fruits, earthy spices, and anise. The wine is nicely playful on the round and juicy palate, whereas the finish has more grapefruit and lime driven zest, which gives it a dryish style. This is a good light off-dry Riesling, which will be best as of next year. 2024-2027. (Issue #66; Jun 2023)"
