2021 Wachenheimer Altenburg Riesling Edition P.C. Q.b.A. trocken Dr. Bürklin-Wolf, Pfalz (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2021 Wachenheimer Altenburg Riesling Edition P.C. Q.b.A. trocken, Dr. Bürklin-Wolf

The first mention of the Altenburg in Wachenheim dates back to the High Middle Age, and this is definitely not the last one. The coolest site of the domaine that holds 1.22 hectares in this eastern slope that is immediately located at the edge of the forest and thus shaded earlier than other crus of the domaine delivered a pure and coolish 2021 Wachenheimer Altenburg P.C. with delicate flinty as well as fruity notes that are fine and integrate the forest flavors. This is fascinating in all its finesse and elegant purity. The palate is round, elegant and lush but bone-dry, savory, saline and citric on the finish. This is a lean and straight but intense and saline Riesling classic from a site whose best age has just started. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork stopper. Tasted in November 2022. - Stephan Reinhardt, Dez. 2022
