Tucked away on the river Saar (a Mosel tributary) is a celebrity in the German winemaking world, and his name is Florian Lauer. Though his father's name remains the face of the weingut, Florian has done more than craft a niche for himself in the Saar, and has far surpassed the moniker of rising star. Here at Monarch we recently got the chance to hop on a Zoom call with PJ Rosenberg of Vom Boden, the importer of these wines and a true advocate. He led us through the wines of Weingut Peter Lauer one by one, giving us a real sense of the winery, the town of Ayl, and the land surrounding it.
