The grapes harvested for this 'Forster' are pressed directly at the winery, after which the juice is transferred to oak barrels of various sizes. Here, the juice undergoes spontaneous fermentation, meaning that fermentation occurs naturally without the addition of selected yeasts. The choice of oak barrels contributes to the wine's complexity and roundness. The wood imparts subtle aromas and flavors, giving it greater depth. The result is a wine that is slightly fuller and more complex in character, beautifully complementing the typical citrus acidity characteristic of Riesling wines.
Von Winning Riesling qba 'Forster' is a powerful and dry Riesling with an attractive lemon-yellow color. The wine's bouquet is complex and inviting, with spicy and savory notes combined with juicy aromas of ripe citrus and lush exotic fruit.
