Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Bürklin-Wolf 2021 Kirchenstück G.C. is clear, pure, fresh and saline on the complex and elegant nose. Full-bodied, rich and powerful on the platte, this is a dense, rich, savory and elegant Riesling with enormous grip and tension and a persistent saline finish. This is a great and promising Kirchjrnstzück. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in November 2022.

Winemaking
Description
Dr. Bürklin-Wolf Kirchenstück GC is situated at the foot of the Haardt Mountains, being one of the prime locations in Forster, covering 4 hectares, of which the Dr. Bürklin-Wolf winery owns 0.5 ha. This plot has been recognised since 1828 in the Royal Bavarian Classification, where it was the only one to receive the highest score. It is known as the "Queen" among the Grand Cru locations. No other terroir produces such complex and elegant Rieslings. The south-eastern slope of the hill facilitates rapid warming of the basalt, while the dense layers of clay and sand ensure optimal water balance and mineral absorption.
Elaboration
The grapes are harvested selectively, picking only healthy and fully ripe grapes. Subsequently, a gentle press is carried out. Fermentation is spontaneous and temperature-controlled, and the wine is aged in large oak barrels, known as Doppelstück-Holzfass.
Taste
Kirchenstück shows typical complexity. It is multifaceted, juicy and dense, with an elegant texture. Its impressive minerality indicates a slow and significant ageing potential.
