Dr. von Bassermann-Jordan - Forster Jesuitengarten Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese 1967 - 0,7 l

The 1967 Forster Jesuitengarten Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese from Dr. von Bassermann-Jordan is a rare, mature Pfalz dessert wine from one of Germany’s most distinguished vintages. Produced from highly concentrated, noble-sweet Riesling grapes, this 0.7-litre bottling offers remarkable richness balanced by the freshness that makes great German sweet wines so enduring.

Tasting Notes
Deep golden-yellow in appearance, this mature Trockenbeerenauslese opens with an intense and complex bouquet of honey, dried fruit and delicate spice. The palate is full-bodied and richly concentrated, with luscious sweetness held in balance by refreshing acidity and a subtle mineral character. A long, persistent finish completes the wine with impressive depth. With its age and concentration, it is best approached as a mature collector’s wine; proper storage and bottle condition will influence its remaining drinking window.

Production
Sourced from the renowned Forster Jesuitengarten vineyard in the Pfalz, this Riesling reflects the site’s reputation for producing expressive and long-lived wines. As a Trockenbeerenauslese, it would have been made from exceptionally ripe, naturally shrivelled grapes, typically concentrated by noble rot and selected berry by berry. Specific harvesting and vinification details for this 1967 bottling are not available.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, allowing the wine’s mature aromas and complexity to unfold in the glass. It is a natural match for fruit-based desserts, crème brûlée, pâtisserie and blue or mature cheeses, while its balance also makes it enjoyable as a contemplative aperitif. Decanting is not usually essential for an old sweet wine, but carefully standing the bottle upright and pouring gently can help separate any sediment; a short period of aeration may be beneficial if the wine initially appears closed.

Producer
Dr. von Bassermann-Jordan is one of the historic and highly regarded names of the Pfalz, with a strong association with the region’s finest Riesling vineyards. The estate’s wines are particularly valued for their precision, concentration and ability to mature gracefully. This 1967 Forster Jesuitengarten Trockenbeerenauslese represents a rare opportunity to experience a historic German sweet-wine style from a prestigious vineyard and producer.
