Qualitätswein Pfalz – VDP Erste Lage


Mineral, slightly aromatic white wine


Pale yellow color. The nose reveals fresh fruit, green apple, with some stone fruit notes like peach, and the typical Riesling petrol aroma is also present in the background. The mouthfeel is juicy, intensely fresh fruit with a distinct mineral character and elegant yet present acidity.

Winemaker

For centuries, wine has been produced at Dr. Bürklin-Wolf. On approximately 85 hectares, they primarily cultivate Riesling, among the finest in the entire region. This family-run winery, located in the Palatinate, is run by Bettina, the 22nd generation. She has carried on her grandfather's vision and began making biodynamic wine in 2001, both in the vineyard and the cellar. This makes the wines even more terroir-driven and exciting! In the vineyard and cellar, very little is done to the wines; the goal is pure and distinctive wines. The wines are fermented and aged partly in stainless steel and partly in old wooden barrels. The wines are known for their distinctive character, a new style (modern) Riesling, with pronounced acidity and enormous length.
