Wachenheimer Gerümpel Riesling P.C. 2022 Dr. Burklin-Wolf

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (95)

The 2022 Wachenheimer Gerümpel P.C. is super clear, intense and flinty on the very elegant and refined nose that reveals extremely stony (basalt!) and saline aromas as well as substantial fruit aromas intermingled with sulfur-spring notes. Full-bodied, this is a pure, refined and saline, vibrantly fresh and expressive terroir Riesling with remarkable intensity and grip due to its rich minerals and serious tannins. This is an age-worthy Riesling that will hardly please any non-Riesling aficionados at this early stage, but it will excite the freaks that are hunting for unique terroir wines at a rather moderate price (which is less than half the cost of the domaine's cheapest grand cru). 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork.

In spite of the wide spectrum of yellow fruits in the nose it remains cool and very precise. Wonderful tension and freshness with so much smoky character. At the very focused long finish this is as stony as it is salty. Already a beauty, this has excellent potential. From biodynamically grown grapes. Wild-fermented in large neutral oak. Vegan.
