Introduction:
The 2024 Mosbacher Forster Stift Riesling Trocken from Pfalz, Germany is a precise, mineral-driven dry Riesling that reflects both the warmth of the Pfalz region and the clarity of the Forster Stift vineyard site. With its fresh acidity, orchard fruit profile, and subtle texture, it’s a standout wine for lovers of structured, elegant German whites.

Terrior:
Sourced from the Forster Stift vineyard in the Mittelhaardt area of the Pfalz, this site sits at 110–120 meters above sea level and features a mix of sandy and clay soils. The region benefits from a warm, dry climate — one of Germany’s sunniest — allowing for full phenolic ripeness while preserving acidity through cool nighttime temperatures.

Appearance:
Pale straw yellow with green highlights. Brilliant clarity suggests youth and freshness.

Nose:
Lifted aromas of green apple, pear, and white peach lead, followed by citrus zest, subtle floral notes (blossom, honeysuckle), and a light mineral edge reminiscent of wet stone or crushed chalk.

Palate:
Dry, crisp, and focused, with lively acidity and precise flavors of orchard fruits, lime peel, and white peach. The wine has a medium body, sleek texture, and a mineral core that adds energy and depth. The dryness is balanced by vibrant fruit intensity.

Finish:
Clean and persistent, with lingering citrus, saline minerality, and a gentle herbal edge. Refreshing and pure, the finish invites continued sipping and food pairing.

Overall Impression:
The 2024 Mosbacher Forster Stift Riesling Trocken is a classic Pfalz dry Riesling — fresh, mineral, and expressive. Its purity of fruit, structured acidity, and textured palate make it both a great food companion and a precise expression of site and vintage. It’s an excellent introduction to the elegance of dry German Riesling.
