Orange blossom and the slightest touch of residual sugar to balance out the razor sharp acidity (and balance out my spicy Thai food). This is a light wine but I can almost taste the slate soils and steep slopes.

Whole-cluster grapes and spontaneous fermentations

Medium light straw . Wet slate and chalky on the nose , with white flowers , touch of gunpowder and a lychee note . On the plate more white fruits , white peach , touch of lychee and ripe apple, with a light smoky touch . Nicely rounded mouthfeel with balanced alcohol . Slightly saline finish , with good acidity . Ok length . Showing pretty young at the moment , this will be better in a couple of years and last well a further 5-8 — 8 months ago

What an extremely satisfying Kabinett. Lauer just keeps killing it. — 2 years ago

2022. Had side-by-side with the similarly delicious Weiser-Künstler “Enkircher Steffensberg im Löwenbaum" Riesling Spatlese 2022. The Lauer has a tiny bit more complex flavor and a little more mouthwatering acidity. I would gladly enjoy either wine again over the next few decades! — 4 months ago

Acidity is the first thing that I notice in a Lauer wine. Always screaming pairs well with the peach, apricot and steely minerality. I remember this bottle having a hint of RS. — 7 months ago

Wine version of Starbucks Honey Citrus Mint tea…bright lime and citrus, herbal mint, and a sweet acidic finish. — a year ago

Concentrated liquid beauty. Balanced perfection. Racy acids, nicely off dry. Excellent complexity at this price, and it’s a good thing it’s only 8.5% because I’m drinking the whole bottle. — 5 months ago

Lovely kabinett from the fine folks at Vols. Drinking well with 7 years of age but certainly could go longer. 7.5%, perfect for some pre dinner enjoyment. But also good pairing of course. — 9 months ago
