The 2025 Forster Riesling Trocken – BASF Exclusive is a classic Palatinate Riesling crafted by the renowned Forster Winzerverein, a cooperative that has stood for exceptional quality since 1918. Today, 26 winegrowing families cultivate around 110 hectares of vineyards in Forst, Deidesheim, and Wachenheim, including some of Germany’s most celebrated Riesling sites such as Kirchenstück, Pechstein, Freundstück, and Jesuitengarten. Their commitment to excellence has been recognized with the Rhineland-Palatinate State Honor Award an impressive 13 years in a row.

Fresh, lively, and wonderfully approachable, this dry Riesling delights with aromas of citrus, green apple, and juicy stone fruit, supported by crisp acidity and a refreshing mineral finish. Bottled exclusively for the BASF Wine Cellar, it captures the vibrant character that has made Riesling the signature grape of the Palatinate.

At BASF in Ludwigshafen, this wine has long been a favorite for making a refreshing Rieslingschorle—the iconic regional blend of wine and sparkling water enjoyed throughout the Rhine-Neckar region. Whether enjoyed neat or mixed as a Schorle, this versatile Riesling is perfect for warm days and casual gatherings. Why not stock up on a few bottles and add a bottle of German sparkling water to your order for the authentic Palatinate experience?
