"Deep nose with stacks of spice plus flinty and leesy complexity. The ripe stone fruit character emerges more and more with each swirl of the glass. A generous mouthful of extremely harmonious dry riesling. A touch of fine tannin deftly supports the finish. A good two-thirds fermented in stainless steel, the remainder in large neutral oak. From biodynamically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold. Screw cap."

"The 2022 Riesling is picked mainly in Wachenheim and Ruppertsberg with a little Deidesnheim. About a third was fermented spontaneously in Doppelstück, the rest in stainless steel, partly spontaneous, partly with their own isolated yeast strain. The nose initially is a double take of apple juice: intense, fruity, bright, then a hint of yeast follows, settling on pear and lemon. The palate has real tension and freshness. It's salty, apple-juicy and concentrated, yet bone-dry with proper tension. (Bone-dry)"

"Bürklin's 2022 Riesling Trocken opens with a clear, fresh and stony/mineral nose with herbal and flinty terroir-driven notes. Juicy, intense and with good mouthfeel, this is a round and aromatic, well-structured and persistent Estate Riesling with a seriously long and intense, firm finish. Tasted at the Nobelhart & Schmutzig restaurant in Berlin, February 2024."
