Dr. Bürklin-Wolf Dr. Bürklin-Wolf Bürklin Estate Riesling 2024 750ml

Deep nose with stacks of spice plus flinty and leesy complexity. The ripe stone fruit character emerges more and more with each swirl of the glass. A generous mouthful of extremely harmonious dry riesling. A touch of fine tannin deftly supports the finish. A good two-thirds fermented in stainless steel, the remainder in large neutral oak. From biodynamically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Sourced in Wachenheim and Ruppertsberg, the 2022 Riesling Trocken is intensely yellow in color and offers saline notes of yellow and green apples intertwined with finely stony aromas. Very elegant and with lush, refined fruit, this is a substantial dry Riesling with moderate body and a stringent and still young but promising finish with muscles. This should be cellared for another year, if possible, or open the bottle a day or two before you consume it to let it breathe. 12% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted at the domaine in November 2023 (AP 47 23).

The 2024 Riesling includes young vines as of their fifth and sixth years from Gaisböhl and Gerümpel. This fermented spontaneously, half in Doppelstück, half in stainless steel. A very subtle flicker of flint accompanies bright citrus and crushed citrus foliage. The palate brings the typical Pfalz juiciness with some stone fruit, but the lemon overtone is a constant in this vivid, bone-dry expression. (Bone-dry)

A rounder version, with a honeyed edge to flavors of spiced apple, juicy lemon and nectarine. Bone dry and focused through the palate, offering pithy acidity that makes for a mouthwatering, chiseled close. Drink now. 600 cases imported.
