Tasting Notes

Ungeheuer

2016 - Forster Ungeheuer Riesling GG
The nose is inviting and filled with melon and mango, candy floss style, nice minerality with beautiful spices. The palate is fine and elegant, nice limestone style minerality, great spices, fresh and lively acidity, dancing. Long finish with citrus peel and firestone style minerals. 

2015 - Forster Ungeheuer Riesling Auslese
The nose is huge, full of honey, spices and fruit, apricots, pears, mango and other exotic fruits as well, on the palate so juicy and oily, great minerality-acidity-mix, the limestone minerality provides a great basis for the deep and intense fruit and honey flavors, fresh acidity finish. A must have for Auslese fans and not available every year! 

2014 - Forster Ungeheuer Riesling Spätlese
Comes with a nice fruity nose of melon, exotic fruits, peach and  apricots, nice stony minerality, honey and herbs. On the palate creamy and elegant, nicely integrated acidity that goes very well with the residual sugar, broad fruit basket, herbs and spices, honey. It finishes super juicy with great fruit notes and a nice bit of salt that invites you to have the next sip. So lovely!
