The Dr. Bürklin-Wolf Riesling Wachenheim Village is a brilliant example of how the unique terroir of the Palatinate manifests itself in a wine. Sourced from young vines in Wachenheim's Premier Cru vineyards, such as Altenburg and Böhlig, this wine benefits from the rich, weathered sandstone soils that characterize the region. This creates a Riesling deeply connected to its origins, with every sip expressing the essence of the Palatinate. Dr. Bürklin-Wolf, a pioneer in biodynamic viticulture, emphasizes this connection through minimal intervention, making the wine a pure expression of its environment and vintage. The result is a wine that not only showcases the power and finesse of the Palatinate but also an extraordinary sense of place, palate-pleasing in every drop.
