Forster Pechstein

1979 Pfalz Riesling

The Bassermann-Jordan Forster Pechstein Riesling from the acclaimed Pfalz region is a stunning example of aged white wine excellence. This vintage from 1979 showcases a beautiful golden hue that hints at its longevity and complexity. On the nose, it reveals enticing aromas of stone fruit, honeyed tones, and a touch of minerality that is characteristic of its terroir. The palate is gracefully balanced, with a lively acidity that brings a refreshing vibrance, making it incredibly food-friendly. The fruit intensity is prominent, with notes of apricot and peach beautifully intertwined with hints of citrus. This wine remains remarkably dry, reflecting the finesse that Riesling exhibits when crafted with such care. Its texture is silky, accentuated by a delicate structure that resonates with each sip, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and depth. Enjoying this wine is not just a tasting experience; it is a celebration of the artistry behind one of the finest varietals in the world.
