Dr. Burklin-Wolf Wachenheimer Riesling Trocken 2014
Pfalz, GermanyBurklin Wolf has over 400 years of history and owns 83 hectares of vineyards across many of the finest Pfalz terroirs. In 2005 the entire estate converted to biodynamics and is certified by Biodyvin—the first property outside France to be so designated. The fruit is all hand harvested from de-classified 1er Cru vineyards. It’s whole bunch pressed, fermented in stainless steel vats using indigenous yeasts before 85 percent is aged in tank and the remaining 15 percent goes into old 2500 litre oak casks for 8 months. The nose and palate are piercingly fresh. White fruits, peach blossoms and preserved lemon dominate its dry, piquant but relatively full-bodied palate. The mouth-watering acidity and pure, clean, dry finish calls for food. It’s not for everyone but certainly this is modern trocken riesling at its freshest. Sushi is a great match, as is charcuterie. It will live forever.Tasted: 23 November 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $33.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
