WINE DESCRIPTION
Von Winning Forster Ungeheuer Riesling is a premium, age-worthy, hugely refreshing dry white wine from the Pfalz region of Germany. The grapes for this wine are sourced from the Ungeheuer vineyard, which has been awarded Grand Cru status by Germany's independent growers' association known as the VDP. The vineyard is located above the city of Forst on a high elevation slope that faces east and southeast providing optimal warming. Fermentation and maturation takes place in large oak barrels and is left on lees (decomposing yeast) for around 18 months prior to bottling.
