Dr. von Bassermann-Jordan - Forster Jesuitengarten Riesling Auslese 1950 - 0,7 l

Dr. von Bassermann-Jordan Forster Jesuitengarten Riesling Auslese 1950 is a rare example of mature German Riesling from one of the Pfalz’s most renowned vineyards. Made from selectively harvested grapes and aged in bottle for more than seven decades, this historic Auslese offers remarkable depth, sweetness and complexity for collectors and lovers of mature wine.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep golden hue, reflecting its extended bottle maturation. Its mature bouquet is marked by ripe peach, apricot and honey, with the nuanced, mineral character associated with the Forster vineyards. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, balancing generous sweetness with refreshing acidity and a persistent mineral finish. At this age, its condition and further ageing potential depend greatly on storage history, provenance and the individual bottle, but it is best appreciated as a fully mature Riesling.

Production
The wine originates from the Forster Jesuitengarten, a distinguished vineyard site in the Pfalz known for producing expressive, mineral-driven Rieslings. As an Auslese, it was made from individually selected, very ripe grapes harvested late in the season. The wine has since developed through long bottle ageing, allowing its fruit, sweetness and acidity to evolve into a more complex and harmonious profile.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at 10–12°C, allowing the wine a little time in the glass to reveal its mature aromas. It pairs beautifully with aged and blue cheeses, fruit-based desserts and richly spiced or exotic dishes, including aromatic Asian cuisine. Decanting is not always necessary for a mature bottle of this age; if sediment is present, careful decanting shortly before serving is recommended, while avoiding prolonged aeration.

Producer
Dr. von Bassermann-Jordan is one of the historic estates of the Pfalz and has long been associated with the exceptional Rieslings of Deidesheim and Forst. The estate’s wines are particularly celebrated for combining ripe fruit, pronounced vineyard character and refreshing acidity. The Forster Jesuitengarten is among the region’s most prestigious sites, making this 1950 bottling a noteworthy piece of German wine history.
