2023 Dr Burklin-Wolf Riesling Trocken

Crunchy lime, citrus and red apple fruits underpinned by a zippy line of crisp acidity.

The Bürklin-Wolf estate is based in the Mittelhaardt, the quality core of Germany’s world-renowned Pfalz, around the towns of Wachenheim, Forst, Deidesheim and Ruppertsberg. Here with 85ha under vine they have the largest family owned wine estate in all of Germany originating in 1597, with a treasure-trove of superb vineyards.
Brilliant pale straw colour with green tinted edges and a watery hue. Lime and red apple aromas mix with hints of toast and steely mineral notes. Crunchy lime, citrus and red apple fruits are underpinned by a zippy line of crisp acidity. Flinty slate and steely mineral elements are highlighted across the back half. Finishes dry with a zingy feel across the long aftertaste.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 12%

Other Reviews….
A stunning, entry-level dry riesling with an impressive depth of stone fruit and a touch of flint that gives it energy on the medium-bodied palate. Long, compact, salty finish. A cuvee of wines that are 40% from Ruppertsberg and 60% from Wachenheim, mostly from young vineyards. From biodynamically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
