Dr. von Bassermann-Jordan - Forster Kirchenstück Riesling Auslese 1953 - 0,7 l

Dr. von Bassermann-Jordan’s Forster Kirchenstück Riesling Auslese 1953 is a remarkable old-vineyard white wine from one of the Palatinate’s most celebrated sites. Crafted from the finest fruit of a great vintage, it offers the kind of depth, balance, and historic character that only mature Riesling can deliver.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine shows a beautiful golden hue that speaks to its age and concentration. The nose is layered and expressive, with aromas of ripe stone and orchard fruit, honey, and gentle spice unfolding over time. On the palate, it is beautifully balanced, with a refined interplay of sweetness and acidity that keeps the wine vibrant despite its maturity. The finish is long and persistent, making it a highly rewarding wine to drink now, though its structure and complexity suggest it can continue to hold gracefully for those who enjoy well-aged Riesling.

Production
Sourced from the esteemed Forster Kirchenstück vineyard in the Pfalz, one of Germany’s most prestigious Riesling sites, this wine reflects a terroir known for its excellent exposure and mineral-rich soils. The grapes for Auslese are selected from the best ripe bunches, typically harvested by hand to ensure only the finest fruit is used. Vinification follows traditional Riesling winemaking practices, preserving aromatic complexity and the wine’s natural balance between sweetness and acidity.

Food & Serving
This Auslese pairs wonderfully with fish, poultry, and a selection of mild to medium-aged cheeses. It is best served lightly chilled at around 8–10°C, and while decanting is not usually necessary, a little time in the glass can help its aromas open beautifully.
