The Dr. Bürklin-Wolf Reiterpfad 2016 Riesling Trocken is a Grand Cru from the Ruppertsberg region, showcasing the estate’s mastery of biodynamic winemaking. Sourced from the Reiterpfad vineyard, known for its sandstone and limestone soils, this 2016 vintage displays a golden hue and a complex bouquet of ripe stone fruits, citrus zest, and subtle spice, with a pronounced mineral edge. On the palate, it is vibrant and focused, with a harmonious balance of fruit, acidity, and a chalky minerality that adds structure. The wine’s wild fermentation and extended lees contact lend a creamy texture and depth, culminating in a long, elegant finish. With nearly a decade of aging, it is beginning to show tertiary notes of honey and petrol, yet retains its youthful energy. Perfect with seafood, white meats, or spicy Asian dishes, this Riesling exemplifies Dr. Bürklin-Wolf’s commitment to terroir-driven excellence, with the potential to evolve further over the next decade.
