Forster Ungeheuer

1953 Pfalz Riesling

The Bassermann-Jordan Forster Ungeheuer is a remarkable white wine from the illustrious Pfalz region, hailing from the vintage of 1953. This enchanting Riesling showcases a medium body that dances gracefully on the palate, displaying a harmonious balance of vibrant acidity and pronounced fruit intensity. Its refreshing qualities are complemented by a subtle dryness that enhances its overall sophistication. With a rich tapestry of flavors, this wine presents intriguing notes of apricot, honey, and a hint of minerality, reflecting the terroir of its esteemed vineyard. The experience is further elevated by soft, integrated tannins that provide structure without overpowering its elegant profile, making it a true gem of the Pfalz winegrowing area.

Riesling is the most famous varietal in Germany, and is made in a range of styles, from dry and steely to sweet and peachy. The wines are classified according to the region as well as how much sugar is in each wine. Aside from the aromatic Riesling, you will also find subtle, refreshing whites made from local grapes like the floral Müller-Thurgau and Silvaner. Germany also produces some increasingly excellent red wine, mostly crisp and brightly fruity Pinot Noir (locally known as Spätburgunder).
