Von Winning, Riesling, Ungeheur GG, Pfalz 2022
The famous Ungeheuer vineyard is located above the city of Forst in the middle of the slope that rises from 125 to 180 meters toward the Haardt hills. The gentle slope incline of 30 percent faces east and southeast providing optimal warming. The soil is quite diverse and heterogeneous and includes a bit of volcanic basalt rock in some areas. The soil is otherwise dominated by weathered variegated sandstone with clay, limestone, and limestone rubble. Good available water capacity provides vines with optimal moisture and minerals. Riesling is the sole variety planted here.
From Wine Advocate: The intensely yellow-colored 2022 Forster Ungeheuer Riesling GG VDP Grosse Lage opens with a rich and intensely fruity as well as oaky bouquet with sur lie or brioche notes as well as fresh lemon aromas. Full-bodied, intense and fresh on the palate, this full-bodied, creamy-textured yet also vital and elegant Riesling.
