Importer Notes:
"It tends to be one of the broadest and most powerful of Lauer’s 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 acidity’s cut and lift."
Alcohol: 12%
