Wachenheimer Altenburg Riesling Trocken, Bürklin-Wolf 2023
From one of Wachenheim's most prestigious sites, and one of the coolest owned by the winery. It sits at 30-150 metres altitude and on the edge of the forest, just by Gerümpel giving a steeliness and crispness to the wine. Expect jasmine, citrus and plenty of minerality. This is a classy wine that will take on so many layers given time to age. Drink from 2025 to 2035. 13.5%

Weingut Dr. Bürklin-Wolf
The reputation of this famous estate was made in the 20th century by the formidable Dr Bürklin-Wolf with his great sweet wines. Under his daughter Bettina's guidance all the wines are now fully fermented out and dry, and the vineyards are farmed organically/biodynamically, without herbicides or pesticides. Bürklin-Wolf's greatest and longest living wines come from their splendid holdings in Forst; Pechstein, Kirchenstück, Jesuitengarten, Ungeheuer with each producing riesling of remarkable individuality, reflecting their different soils of volcanic basalt. They also make delicious fine and charming wine from the Wachenheimer vineyards, particularly Gerümpel, and softer full-flavoured Ruppertsberger Geisbuhl.
