From eight-year-old vines planted in high density (8,000 vines per hectare) in the Pechstein and the Jesuitengarten grands crus, the golden-yellow 2022 Forst Village shows a deep, intense and refined bouquet with a very distinctive smoky/flinty note of basalt, firestone and sulfur spring. On the palate, this is a very elegant, saline and mineral, highly expressive Forster Riesling with a very fine and gentle acidity and a lovely and persistent mineral freshness with lingering salinity and fine bitterness. This is a remarkably fine and age-worthy wine that was bottled with six grams per liter of total acidity and a 3.0 pH. 12% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure.
A stunning village wine with all the positives that we associate with dry Pfalz riesling from the generosity to the delicate spiciness. Stacks of bergamot and oolong tea character, but finely-etched rather than of the flag-waving variety. The long structured finish suggests this has very good aging potential. A 50/50 cuvee from Pechstein and Jesuitengarten GG sites, in each case nine-year-old vines. From biodynamically grown grapes. ‘Old school’ vinification that was wild fermented in large neutral oak casks. Vegan.
