Burklin Wolf Ruppertsberger Hoheburg 1er Cru Riesling 2022

The vineyard has deeper soils with more clay. Nicola says this always presents as a gentler wine and yellow fruits. Juicer, rounder palate with a tender, caressing acidity. Yellow nectarine and candied fennel are prevalent yet a shimmering blue stone character sits underneath – maybe from the pockets of slate in the vineyard. Jeremy Muller, FWC.

‘Complex nose of mirabelle, spice and chamomile. At once ripe and fleshy with a vibrant citrusy acidity and flinty energy. Juicy and refined with a lovely freshness that lifts the generous body. Long, textural and elegant finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Wild-fermented in large neutral oak. Vegan. Drink or hold.’ 94 points, Stuart Pigott, JS Wine Ratings, July 2023.
