Deep nose with stacks of spice plus flinty and leesy complexity. The ripe stone fruit character emerges more and more with each swirl of the glass. A generous mouthful of extremely harmonious dry riesling. A touch of fine tannin deftly supports the finish. A good two-thirds fermented in stainless steel, the remainder in large neutral oak. From biodynamically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Bürklin's 2022 Riesling Trocken opens with a clear, fresh and stony/mineral nose with herbal and flinty terroir-driven notes. Juicy, intense and with good mouthfeel, this is a round and aromatic, well-structured and persistent Estate Riesling with a seriously long and intense, firm finish. Tasted at the Nobelhart & Schmutzig restaurant in Berlin, February 2024.

The 2022 Riesling is picked mainly in Wachenheim and Ruppertsberg with a little Deidesnheim. About a third was fermented spontaneously in Doppelstück, the rest in stainless steel, partly spontaneous, partly with their own isolated yeast strain. The nose initially is a double take of apple juice: intense, fruity, bright, then a hint of yeast follows, settling on pear and lemon. The palate has real tension and freshness. It's salty, apple-juicy and concentrated, yet bone-dry with proper tension. (Bone-dry)
