Drink 5 to 25 from vintage. Young vintages benefit from 30-90 minutes of decanting; mature bottles should be handled carefully for sediment.
Schweinshaxe with crackling is the canonical pairing. Other strong matches include White asparagus with hollandaise and Aged Allgau Bergkaese. Racy Forst acidity cuts the rendered pork fat while ripe yellow fruit flatters the crackling.

The blend is Riesling. The wine is classified as VDP.Grosse Lage Pfalz.
