The 2022 Wachenheimer Böhlig P.C. is another pure, saline and flinty Bürklin Riesling that is reminiscent of crushed stones and iodine combined with coconut nuances and seriously ripe but elegant fruit aromas. Grown on a southeast-facing slope at the foot of the Haardt Mountains on lime-rich red and yellow sandstone rubble and vinified in large oak casks, this is a great wine from the very first moment! Full-bodied and rich yet also refined on the palate, this is a dense and expressive premier cru Riesling with power and serious tannins. It's pretty unique in the Pfalz, and it needs many years to refine and fascinate a wider community than just Riesling freaks. After some years in the bottle, this will doubtlessly be a great wine, which you can steal now for a moderate price. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork.
Very smoky and chalky this reminds me of a Grand Cru Chablis, although it has the juiciness of a great dry riesling. Wonderful peach and apricot fruit on the compact mid-palate. Long, refined finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Wild-fermented in large neutral oak. Vegan. Drink or hold.
