This light and gulpable Riesling opens with a bouquet of floral notes that jump out of the glass. The florals continue on the palette supported by orchard fruits and fresh orange zest. Plenty of bright acidity and stoniness keep the wine inviting. This balanced wine pairs with dishes like lemon pepper chicken wings or crab cakes.

Located in Wachenheim, this estate was one of the “Three Bs of the Pfalz”; historically Basserman-Jordan, von Buhl, and Bürklin-Wolf were the most important estates in the Pfalz. Today, Dr. Bürklin-Wolf is one of the finest estates in all of Germany, a certified organic, biodynamic, and family-owned winery with a 400-year history. Today, Dr. Bürklin-Wolf is owned by Bettina Bürklin-von Guradze, who took over the estate from her father in 1990. Between 1990 and 2005, she took steps to improve every aspect of the estate. In 2005, under Ms. Bürklin-von Guradze’s guidance, the estate became the first producer in Germany to be certified by Biodyvin, the biodynamic certifier for Leflaive, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, and 175 other top growers in France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Switzerland. The winery has both a deep history and a reputation for innovation. Today, Bürklin-Wolf produces only handpicked, estate-grown wines on 86 hectares, with 15 different top vineyard sites. The idea is to focus on the raw material, health, and balance in the vineyards using biodynamic methods to produce wines of outstanding quality

The 2024 Riesling Hommage à Luise is a Kabinett style that was picked on two elevated sites, one on limestone, one on sandstone. Lemon, crushed citrus and a touch of conifer play on the nose. More air brings the juiciest apple aroma. This was stopped at around 30 g/L of residual sugar and simply smiles at you with its tenderness and freshness. The 2024 is beautifully fresh-faced and cooling, with vivid brightness that makes it incredibly balanced. (Bone-dry)

This racy, light-bodied riesling has fabulous juiciness. I love the zesty pink grapefruit and blood orange flavors that make this such a joyful wine. Very long, expressive finish. A cuvee of wines from the Bohlig and Konigswingert sites that were wild-fermented. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
