Burklin Wolf Ruppertsberger Riesling 2020
$51
A ridiculous 80% of the 1er Cru site Gaisbohl was declassified into this village wine. The sites have deeper clay soils thus resulting in a wine with more weight and structure. A very serious wine for the level here; it’s floral yet shows savoury nuance – think a delicious combination of earthy complexity and salty moreishness. Jeremy Muller, FWC.
‘The floral (lilac!) nose pulls you into this charming and rather filigree dry Riesling for the Pfalz, where generosity is often the most obvious attribute of the wines. This has a firm course of tannin and acidity, but it’s nicely packed in yellow-fruit character. Long, rather bold finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.’ 93 points, Stuart Pigott, JS Wine Ratings, July 2021.
