Product details

  • Winemaker

  • Variety

    Riesling
  • This is a splendidly complex wine with stone fruit and ripe citric notes, marmalade, honeycomb, lots of sweetness, lots of lime fruit and acidity that rushes round the mouth. Invigorating! Lovely layers of flavour, blossom, candy, citrus, tropical melon and fine balance, with a profoundly poised palate, sweet yet with beautiful creamy and waxy concentration.

Press ReviewPress

89 points Talk about extreme, von Buhl’s 2008 Forster Ungeheuer Riesling Auslese harbors 12.6 grams of acid – considerably more than do a great many successful Eisweine. No question, it administers a tongue-lashing, allied to aromas of over-ripe peach, prickling lemon oil, and sweat that remind me a bit of a Kirchenstuck. Persimmon, peach fuzz, citrus zests, and brown spices all contribute to both the invigoration and sharp tactile impingement already engendered solely by the wine’s high acid. Nobody could deny that for sheer length, this literally stunning wine is in the major leagues. Those with plenty of patience and curiosity should cellar some, and I’d advise not revisiting for at least ten years.

David Schildknecht The Wine Advocate February 2010

Winemaking

The attributes of the Auslese are clarity and concentration. In the 2008 vintage there were the perfect conditions for making Auslese, which while presenting highly concentrated fruit aromas, almost vibrates on the tongue with its sheer mineral character. The soil is heterogeneous soil of variegated sandstone, loam-loess, limestone scree and basalt. Harvest, end of october 2008. Short standing time for the mash. Sharp clarifying of the must using temperature, fermentation time of 8 weeks and further duration of yeast contact up to the end of February with subsequent filtration. Filling was in the middle of April.
