2023 Dr Burklin-Wolf Dry Riesling. Pfalz, Germany. 750ml.
2023 Riesling Trocken (Stelvin)
Depending on the vintage, this outstanding Estate Riesling is made from 30-50 % declassified or young vine P.C. and G.C. material. And typically that fruit will be from Wachenheim (~60 %) Ruppertsberg (~ 37 %) and Forst (~ 3 % from Jesuitengarten G.C.). Year-in, year-out, it’s the perfect introduction to dry Pfalz Riesling.
‘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.’ 93 points, Stuart Pigott, JS Wine Ratings, July 2024.
