2020 Bürklin-Wolf Forster Pechstein GC Riesling Magnum 1.5L, Wachenheim Pfalz

So stony, poised and pristine, in spite of all the concentration, this has staggering elegance and finesse for such a warm region. Mega minerality at the breathtakingly long and radical finish that defies any simple description. Drink or hold.

Pechstein translates to Pitchstone and refers to the high volcanic basalt content in the soil. These basalt fragments retain heat long after sunset, helping to provide extra warmth to the vines. Located in the village of Forst, Pechstein was one of the five top-rated sites in the 1828 Classification. Dr Bürklin-Wolf owns 1.71 hectares hectares. Replanted in 1978.
