The Riesling Reiterpfad GC reveals its complexity from the very first aroma. Green apple, citrus fruits such as grapefruit, ripe peach, and hints of exotic mango form a rich, aromatic composition. Flint provides an exciting mineral counterpoint that blends beautifully with subtle spicy notes. These multifaceted aromas are a direct reflection of the careful vinification process, where the wine is aged in large, used oak barrels and left on the lees for added depth and structure. The aromatic profile invites deep tasting and promises an equally rich tasting experience, where the aromas blend seamlessly with the palate.
The palate of Dr. Bürklin-Wolf's Reiterpfad GC is a model of harmony and precision. This Riesling is both concentrated and elegant, with a perfect balance of vibrant fruit, dry undertones, and exciting acidity. The mineral and slightly saline nuances add an intriguing layer that further enhances the wine's length and complexity. With its extended finish, this Riesling is an excellent companion to gourmet dishes, such as "sauerkraut de la mer," a dish in which the sauerkraut and various types of fish are enhanced by the subtle complexity of the wine. This pairing, served at 8-10°C, enhances both the dishes and the wine's unique characteristics, making every meal a memorable experience.
