Description
The Forster Jesuitengarten premier cru site is one of the most renowned vineyards in the Pfalz region and is located on the outskirts of Forst, directly adjacent to the famous Kirchenstück and Ungeheuer sites. Due to its exceptionally high mineral content, it is considered one of Germany's best Riesling sites. The name dates back to the historic ownership of the Jesuit monastery in Neustadt an der Weinstraße before the site was acquired by the Jordan family in 1793. Wines from the Jesuitengarten are known for their elegant style, fine structure, and impressive complexity.
The grapes for the Forster Jesuitengarten Riesling GG 2024 come from a parcel in the original core of the site and were selectively hand-picked in several passes to ensure only optimally ripened grapes were used. After gentle pressing, the musts were vinified separately. 70% of the wine was aged in traditional Stückfass barrels, while the remaining portion was aged in stainless steel tanks. Both batches matured on their lees after fermentation until bottling, which gives the wine additional depth and structure.
On the nose, this Große Gewächs Riesling from the Pfalz is fresh, precise, and inviting, with juicy Riesling fruit accompanied by cool, dark minerality. Fine smoky notes and a subtle herbal spice give the wine additional complexity.
On the palate, the Forster Jesuitengarten GG 2024 is concentrated yet elegant, with a taut structure and fine, lively acidity. Despite its depth, the wine remains accessible and inviting to drink, supported by inner tension and clear regional character. The long, harmonious finish underlines the balance of power and finesse that characterizes this Riesling.
This Riesling GG from the Pfalz combines classic elegance with precise minerality and great aging potential. It pairs excellently with delicate fish dishes, veal, poultry, and modern vegetarian cuisine with root vegetables, nuts, or subtle smoky aromas. Its complexity and stylish restraint make it a noble and versatile food companion.
