The 2018 Riesling Trocken is very ripe and intense on the nose that displays stewed, ripe fruit aromas (mirabelles, peaches, apricots) but also a certain freshness due to clayey soils. Lush and pure on the palate, this is an intense, well-structured and salty-mineral dry Riesling that has been predominantly fermented in stainless steel. Very good. Tasted in Wachenheim in December 2019.

Vinous
The middle among three bottlings of Bürklin-Wolf’s generic cuvée, this incorporates initial pickings from a great many top sites (even including Jesuitengarten). It exhibits the juicy but loose and easygoing personality that one often experiences from 2018. Peach and apple dominate, but with grapefruit serving for a modicum of zest, piquancy and brightness. The refreshing finish ushers in mouthwatering salinity along with intriguing notes of alkali, smoke and iodine. As usual, this cuvée includes fruit from first harvest passes (Vorlesen) on most of the estate’s top sites. There is also an especially significant amount of Deidesheimer Herrgottsacker in this blend, because Libelli judged that the vintage’s relatively high yields were incompatible with incorporating fruit from that fast-draining site into the relevant village-level wine. And interestingly – though I can’t claim to have picked up on this directly – around 20% of the volume here represents casks used only twice before (for Pinot Blanc), as that ratio is roughly what it takes to support the estate’s current program for renewing cooperage. As usual, Bürklin-Wolf’s “introductory” Riesling offers terrific value.
