Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, dry
Forster Kirchenstück, the small walled vineyard beside the church in Forst, is one of the Pfalz's most prized Riesling sites, and von Buhl's Grosses Gewächs from it is a dry Riesling of finesse rather than power. Expect white peach, lime zest and green apple over a cool, stony core with a hint of smoke, carried by bright acidity to a long, saline finish. Tight and reserved in youth, it gains texture and depth with several years in bottle.
