Product Description

Burkin-Wolf is one of the oldest family-owned wineries in all of Germany, with origins way back to 1597. An excellent vintage for German Riesling, 2015 was rated 96 points by the Wine Spectator, which writes: “Nearly perfect spring and summer weather, followed by a cooler autumn, resulted in ripe grapes that retained high acidity.”

This is the 2015 Burkin-Wolf Ungehuer Riesling. Ungeheuer is the largest of Forst’s quintet, but at just .29 hectares, it’s still small potatoes. The terroir here is weathered sandstone with layers of clay and sandstone sandwiched between lime and basalt rock. This highly specialized soil together with Forst’s warm and dry climate makes for rich and ripe Riesling with a more mouth-filling character than those found in Germany’s cooler regions like the Mosel, Rheingau and Rheinhessen. Known as one of the Pfalz’s top three estates, Bürklin-Wolf makes a textbook Ungeheuer Riesling, showing forward notes of berry and exotic spice with a mostly dry finish thanks to just 4.9 g/l of residual sugar. Incidentally (or maybe not), Ungeheuer means “monster.” Though Riesling is generally thought of as being one of the world’s lightest wines, this full-bodied offering is anything but.
