Forster Ziegler Riesling dry Erstes Gewächs

The site is located on the western slope of Forst and is arguably the most famous Forster, if not Palatinate, vineyard site. Spectacular drops grow here year after year. The wines are predestined for the best qualities. Not only Goethe but also Otto von Bismarck appreciated the Forster Ungeheuer very much: "This monster (Ungeheuer) tastes monstrously good to me." Here, it was not a monster, but a person's name that was formative. In Deidesheim in the 17th century, there was a town clerk by the name of Johann Adam Ungeheuer, who died in the year 1699. At the monastery church in Mußbach, there is a tombstone with the name Ungeheuer.

The grapes benefited from the vintage and reached optimal ripeness very late. In the cellar, the wine was left to itself and fermented for just under four weeks. The result is opulence and power. Paired with the finesse and elegance of the Riesling, a great wine has been created that, despite everything, possesses playfulness and finesse. The fine acidity structure gives it a delicate note and gives it an aging potential for the next 8-10 years.
