Dr. Burklin Wolf Gaisböhl 'GC Monopole' Riesling 2020 - 750ml

95pts James Suckling

Just sit back and let go! So much ripe gooseberry, kiwi and exotic fruit. So much charm and juiciness, too, which adds up to a full, silky package that’s so easy to enjoy right now, because it pulls you into its warmhearted embrace. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

93pts Wine Enthusiast

Savory and racy, this wine has good balance between its prominent acidity and ripe apple, wild plum and dried citrus flavors. Mineral undertow lends it subtle complexity and a savory edge. The long finish shows touches of ripeness and leesy, almost brioche-like, detail before it's scooped by the acidity. 

Tasting Notes

A very pithy and concise Gaisböhl. Aromas of mirabelle with a herbal note. In the mouth fresh peach, very precise fruit with a clear structure. A wine

with an enormous body and pressure in the long finish.

Importer's Notes

The Dr. Bürklin-Wolf estate is the sole (monopole) owner of this top-rated site in Ruppertsberg, which has a total extent of 8 ha, of which only 5,2 ha are classified as a G.C. site. The origin of this site goes back to the late medieval era. It was classified as a First Growth in terms of the Royal Bavarian Site Classification. It is located at the foot of the Mittelhaardt mountains, and benefits from an advantageous temperate microclimate. Deposits of gravel in terraces with layers of clay in the soil provide the Gaisböhl wine with its huge body and elegant acidity, the colored sandstone ensures a very long maturation potential.
