Weingut Eugen Müller is a historic estate in Forst (Pfalz) known for producing classically structured, site‑driven Rieslings. Their holdings include parcels within the famed Ungeheuer vineyard, a Große Lage with southeast exposure, sandy loam and clay soils threaded with basalt and limestone. The name “Ungeheuer” dates back to the 14th century and is tied to the Ungeheuer family; the site gained notoriety in the 19th century when Otto von Bismarck praised the wine as “ganz ungeheuer schmecke.” The “Ziegler” bottling comes from a specific historic parcel within Ungeheuer, selected for its character and fruit quality.

The 2021 Ungeheuer “Ziegler” Riesling Trocken shows fine, filigree acidity balanced by a touch of natural residual sweetness. Aromatically, it offers elegant, subtly sweet fruit tones with tropical fruit nuances. The wine is fermented cool (16–18°C) after an 8‑hour cold maceration, with 20% aged in small wooden barrels for added texture. Bright, balanced, and expressive — enjoyable on its own and excellent with fish or meat dishes.
