High up on the ridge of the Ayler Kupp lies the Stirn vineyard. Ideally facing south and steep, the Riesling vines here capture a maximum of sunlight. The soil, covered with coarse slate flakes, is shallow and water quickly flows downhill. Therefore, the vines must root deeply into the rock to give the small-berried old vines their extract. Elegant, almost weightless with refreshing, cool minerality, the Stirn is a distinctive, great Saar wine with wonderful fine-dry juiciness and density.

Riesling is the passion at Peter Lauer Winery. The winery in Ayl boasts the best steep slopes along the Saar. In addition to the famous Ayler Kupp, they also cultivate two other important vineyards in the Mosel region. The Saar "Feilser" directly by the river and the steeply sloping vineyard "Schonfels," a bit further upstream. Recently, the forgotten site "Lambertskirch," just a stone's throw from Schonfels, was replanted and revitalized.
For many years, the white wines have been among the best of the Saar. Since 2013, a member of the VDP – the Association of German Prädikat Wine Estates.
Especially notable are the wines from VDP.GROSSE LAGEN® in the dry and off-dry flavor range. In addition, exceptional sparkling wines are produced, some aged on the lees for 30 years.
Each barrel represents a distinctive style of maturation and a special origin. The must from designated vineyards is always vinified in the same container as the previous year. The barrel is unique.
The wild yeast flora inside "overwinters" in the fine fibers of the wood and ferments the same origin again in a style comparable to its predecessors. Following grandfather’s tradition, all wines are marked with this number – the house number in the cellar vault.
