Villa WolfPechstein Grand Cru Riesling
About this product
Forster Pechstein is one of the finest vineyards in the Pfalz and has been regarded as a grand cru site for centuries. It lies on the gentle, east-facing slope that extends from behind the village of Forst up toward the Haardt Mountains. The name (literally, “tar stone”) refers to the black basalt stones in the soil, which give the wines a strong mineral backbone. Of all the vineyards at Villa Wolf, Pechstein produces the most assertive, mineral-driven Rieslings.
