Burklin Wolf Forst Riesling 2023
Biodynamic
Benefiting from de-classification of several of Burklin-Wolf’s most prestigious G.C. vineyards it is essentially a blend of young (10 year old) vines from GC Jesuitengarten (50%) and GC Pechstein (50%). This is an absolutely outstanding dry village Pfalz Riesling with exceptional finesse and depth of character and flavour, whilst maintaining great freshness and structure.
12.2 % Alc/Vol; 1.0 g/L RS; 6.2 g/L TA.
‘Right away, the striking biscuity nose (probably from maturation on the lees) pulls you into this very complete, beautifully balanced dry Pfalz riesling. Then the wide spectrum of yellow fruit, everything from Mirabelle plums to ripe mangoes, opens up on the concentrated, medium-bodied palate. Wonderful elegance in the very long, polished finish. A cuvee of wines from nine-year-old vines in the Jesuitengarten and eight-year-old vines in the Pechstein GG sites. From biodynamically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold. Screw cap.’
95 points, Stuart Pigott, JS Wine Ratings, July 2024.
