{"product_id":"peter-lauer-sekt-brut-germany","title":"Peter Lauer Sekt Brut, Germany","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeach, smoky mineral tones, and a lively, almost crunchy mousse give the 2023 Peter Lauer Sekt Brut an unusually distinctive Riesling profile. Made entirely from Riesling using traditional bottle fermentation and hand riddling, it continues a sparkling-wine program that the Lauer family has maintained since 1984 in the deep historic cellars of the Joh. Förster winery in Trier-Süd. Its combination of fruit, fine bubbles, and incisive slate character reflects the estate’s long commitment to precise, expressive Riesling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Weingut Peter Lauer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOwner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Florian Lauer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCellarmasters:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peter Lauer and Florian Lauer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Riesling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brut vintage Sekt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional method with second fermentation in bottle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRiddling:\u003c\/strong\u003e By hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 12 to 20 months in cool, dark vaulted cellars before disgorgement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisgorgement:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDosage:\u003c\/strong\u003e No dosage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensory Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeach leads the aromatics, joined by pronounced smoky notes and an unusual savory suggestion of celery. The palate is very clean and barely medium-bodied, with a lively, almost crunchy mousse giving the wine precision and energy.

The family focuses entirely on Riesling, working to preserve distinctions of site, vintage, and style rather than forcing the grape into a single expression. Since 1984, the estate has also produced Riesling Sekt in the cellar beneath the historic Joh. Förster winery in Trier-Süd. The extensive multi-story vaulted cellar provides the cool, dark environment required for slow sparkling-wine maturation, while bottle fermentation and hand riddling retain the traditional, labor-intensive character of the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe chilled at 8 to 10 degrees Celsius in a tulip-shaped sparkling wine glass or white wine glass to preserve the fine mousse while allowing the Riesling aromatics to open.
