Reichsrat von Buhl Description
Pechstein Forst is one the most distinctive site of the Palatine. also for us at Reichsrat von Buhl. It is the black basalt. the mineral legacy of the Pechsteinkopf that gives the wine growing here a completely unmistakeable touch. Nowhere you can find more Basalt and nowhere the Basalt appears as clearly as in a wine from the site Pechstei n. As the epitome of puristic mi nerality. our Pechstein embodies a truly Grosses Gewachs.
Wine Pairing: The Pechstein loves the saltiness. Matured hard cheese, all kinds of shellfish, crustaceans and noble fishes which were prepared puristically and yet rich in aroma.
Vinous: 96 Points
The 2021 Riesling Forster Pechstein Grosses Gewächs has only a slight ring of Mirabelle on its shy nose. The palate is uncompromisingly bright, with a stony backdrop and an intensely vivid acidity, buffered but certainly not for beginners. This is countered by much stony solidity and substance. A zesty body shows immense depth. This is a monumental and exquisite wine without a single ounce of fat that will take time to blossom. The length is immense. Analytical values of 9g/L of acidity and 1.8g/L of residual sweetness give you an idea of what I mean by monumental.

Wine Advocate: 96 Points
The intensely yellow-colored 2021 Forster Pechstein Riesling GG is pure and dusty on the deep and intense, iodine and flinty nose that is reminiscent of crushed stones, lemon rind and ripe lemon fruit. Full-bodied, rich and savory on the palate, with dense and textural fruit and a stimulating salinity and firm tannin structure, this is a very intense and complex, still youthful Pechstein with a long, tight and still slightly astringent but very promising finish with lemon bitters. There is lots of energy here and the need to wait another four or more years. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork.
