The 2021 Forst Riesling Village is from young plots in the grand crus Jesuitengarten and Pechstein and thus cultivated on calcareous marl, sandstone and volcanic basalt soils. This is a fascinating dry Riesling with a ripe and concentrated yet not very aromatic or especially fruity nose that is dominated by flinty notes of crushed stones that give a coolish impression with some vegetal notes representing the vintage. Pure, lean and very salty on the palate, this is a concentrated and intense yet linear and elegant dry Riesling in a classic, straightforward, "Scandinavian" style. A wine for Riesling freaks. STEPHAN REINHARDT, The Wine Advocate
Plenty of crisp pear and mirabelle fruit with a ton of flint on the nose. Imposing structure and very crisp acidity on the medium-bodied palate. Needs a bit of time for all of this to completely integrate, but the substance is there and there's very good harmony at the finish. A blend of wines from the young vines in the Jesuitengarten and Pechstein vineyard sites. From biodynamically grown grapes. Screw cap. STUART PIGGOT
