Forster Ungeheuer Riesling Auslese

The attributes of the Auslese are clarity, light heartedness and concentration on the variety. In the 2007 vintage after an incredibly long vegetation period, we found the perfect conditions for an excellent Auslese, which while presenting highly concentrated fruit aromas, almost vibrates on the tongue with its sheer mineral character.
