The Dr. Bürklin-Wolf Riesling Wachenheimer Rechbächel PC represents a sublime expression of the Palatinate terroir. Planted in 1971 and situated on a south-facing hillside, this parcel enjoys abundant sunlight, contributing to the optimal ripening of the Riesling grapes. The soil composition of weathered sandstone mixed with gravel and limestone provides a rich base that gives this wine its characteristic minerality and complexity. The microclimate, combined with Dr. Bürklin-Wolf's biodynamic viticultural methods, results in a wine that is not only deep and complex but also a clear reflection of its origins.
Aromatic Complexity and Elegance
The aromas of the Riesling Wachenheimer Rechbächel PC are rich and layered, with dominant notes of lemon peel and mandarin, complemented by the exotic sweetness of passion fruit. The presence of white flowers adds a delicate touch, while undertones of smoke and flint emphasize the wine's mineral richness. This complex blend of aromas makes the Riesling Rechbächel PC both intriguing and inviting, with each nuance carefully revealed by spontaneous fermentation and aging "sur lie" in large, used oak barrels. These methods contribute to the development of depth and the subtle creaminess that characterize the wine.
Depth of flavor and gastronomic versatility
On the palate, the Riesling Wachenheimer Rechbächel PC is a paragon of balance and precision. It combines delicacy with concentration, characterized by bright acidity that provides a fresh and lively structure. The mineral and slightly saline finish enhances the complexity, while the wine's impressive length leaves a lasting impression. This makes the Riesling Rechbächel PC an excellent pairing with refined dishes, such as veal tartare with tarragon mayonnaise, where the wine's freshness beautifully complements the rich flavors of the dish. Serve this exquisite wine at a temperature of 8-10°C to fully appreciate all its subtle nuances, making every tasting an experience that will enchant both connoisseurs and enthusiasts.
