Tasting notes
Aroma
Exotically lifted and expressive, opening with candied ginger, guava, and quince jam before unfolding into fresh apricot, orange blossom, passion fruit, and crushed limestone.

In Detail
A minuscule allocation of noble sweet Riesling from Pfalz’s legendary biodynamic pioneer
This is an extraordinarily rare allocation from Weingut Dr. Bürklin-Wolf, the legendary 400-year-old estate that pioneered biodynamic winemaking in Germany’s Pfalz region. While Bürklin-Wolf built its world-class reputation on razor-sharp, dry Grand Cru Rieslings, they almost never make sweet wines—making this 2015 Wachenheimer Auslese a true unicorn bottle for German wine collectors.
In the legendary, once-in-a-generation 2015 vintage, ideal autumnal conditions allowed a tiny parcel of Wachenheim vines to achieve perfect noble rot. Hand-selected berry by berry and bottled in intimate 375ml half-bottles, this cuvée combines decadent tropical sweetness with the fierce mineral tension and high-altitude freshness the estate is famous for.
Radiating candied ginger, white peach, and exotic passion fruit, it pairs effortlessly with fresh goat cheese, fruit tarts, or foie gras. Now entering its prime drinking window after a decade in the cellar, this scarce, perfectly aged dessert Riesling offers a unique glimpse into one of Germany's greatest producers at their most playful.
