Jesuitengarten

Jesuitengarten is located on the outskirt of Forst directly in the neighborhood of four other prime vineyards: Kirchsenstuck, Ungeheuer, & Pechstein.  Due to its high mineral content, optimal available water capacity, and diverse soils of calcareous and clay, sandy loam with limestone rubble, and in some places a high concentration of weathered basalt or humus, this is considered one of the very best vineyards in the Pfalz. The basalt components help warm the east facing site quickly in the morning sun. A west to east breeze cools and dries the grapes in the evening and helps to ensure that even highly ripe grapes remain healthy. The vineyard slopes at 4 to 7 percent and spreads between 100 and 145 metres a.s.l. Exclusively Riesling grows here. History: The site was placed in the second highest category in the Bavarian vineyard classification of 1828. The Jesuit Monastery of Neustadt and der Weinstraße was the former owner of the site, which is the origin of its name.

"The 2022 Riesling Forster Jesuitengarten Grosses Gewächs was drawn from used tonneau. The nose is still closed, but there is a hint of herbal tisane despite the essentially shy nature of this sample. An aromatic apple juiciness is as ripe as it is tart. The palate is juicy and shows an immense balance between that rounded orchard fruit and this sprightly fillip of freshness. The 2022 is smooth, concentrated, lasting and elegant. (Bone-dry)"

"The 2022 Forster Jesuitengarten Riesling GG VDP.Grosse Lage opens with a generous, intense and complex bouquet with tropical fruit aromas intertwined with well-integrated oak and saline notes. Generous, dense and round on the palate, this is a powerful, very rich and intense, quite massive yet tightly structured and rather opulent but still refined Riesling with fine and still slightly astringent tannins that will integrate with further bottle age. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in July 2024."
