"The auctioned 2013 A.de.L. Riesling from the Auf der Lay parcel in the FrĂŒhlingsplĂ€tzchen is a fascinatingly pure, precise, fine and expressive mineral wine with very subtle fruit flavors and a cool, flinty nose. The palate is uncompromisingly pure. Sure, there is power but no meat; the minerals conquer the palate easily. This wine offers, if you will, a style in between of the purity and fragrance of the FrĂŒhlingsplĂ€tzchen and the complexity and power of the Halenberg. It is the purest, salty and piquant Riesling of the estate, a real grand cru and one of the greatest dry German Rieslings on the planet. 240 Magnums were auctioned in Bad Kreuznach and there are still some double magnums."

The spiritual home of Riesling, producing wines of piercing acidity, precision and longevity across a spectrum from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. Cool, steep-sloped vineyards along the Mosel and Rhine yield some of the world's most delicate, long-lived whites.
A highly aromatic white of piercing acidity and transparency to terroir, ranging from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. It ages remarkably and is the noble grape of Germany and Alsace.
