Description
Dr Bürklin Wolf does not produce sparkling wines to mask the Riesling, but to bring out its best qualities. This philosophy is in keeping with the history of a house founded in 1597 which, under Bettina Bürklin-von Guradze, took bold decisions: adopting a vineyard classification system inspired by Burgundy and converting the estate to biodynamic farming so that the terroir could express itself with greater purity. Dr. Bürklin Wolf Sekt Riesling Brutis born of that philosophy. It is made from Riesling in the Pfalz, specifically in the Mittelhaardt, a privileged area between the Haardt and the Rhine plain, with a mild, sunny climate and a great diversity of soils — limestone, loess, clay, sandstone and sand — which impart tension, precision and mineral depth.
Production
Dr. Bürklin Wolf Sekt Riesling Brut is produced using the traditional method, a natural choice for a winery that views sparkling wine as an extension of the vineyard. The harvest of the base wines began in the last week of August, with healthy, well-balanced grapes, and concluded on 24 September with the final Rieslings from Ruppertsberg. It was a brilliant vintage, with harmonious vegetative development, ideal for producing a crisp and vibrant Sekt.
Taste
In the glass, Dr. Bürklin Wolf Sekt Riesling Brut makes an impression through its tension, rather than exuberance. Fresh, crisp apple notes appear first, followed by subtle citrus – more lemon zest than sweet fruit. The effervescence is delicate and well-integrated, never garish. There is body, but it is held in check by a lively acidity that runs through the wine with a mineral edge. On the palate, it is dry, straightforward and vibrant, with an extremely fine effervescence that cleanses the palate and leaves a salty, stony, very refreshing finish. The finish emphasises the structure and that austere elegance that invites another sip. An ideal sparkling wine for aperitifs, seafood, white fish or Japanese cuisine.
