Forster Pechstein Riesling BASF Exclusive 2023

The vineyard site’s name Pechstein derives from the high percentage of basalt in the soil. Formerly an active volcano, the 'Pechsteinkopf', situated above the village of Forst, spouted huge amounts of volcanic earth millions of years ago. Veins of basalt can be found well below ground level in this vineyard area with small pieces of basalt also frequently finding their way to the surface. The soil and microclimate of this location lend the Riesling wines their unique minerality, making it an important gemstone of the German Riesling culture. If you enjoy expressive white wines with notes of lemon, peach and flintstone. Then you have to try this Forster Pechstein! Its elegant expressive character makes it an ideal for pairing it with hearty fish dishes and all types of regional cuisine.
