2021 Hommage à Louise is an off-dry Riesling. It is dedicated to Louise Bürklin, one of the ancestors of the current owner Bettina Bürklin-von Guradze. Dr. Bürklin-Wolf is known as the producer of dry German Riesling from the Palatinate, and was called the “King of Dry Riesling” by the Gault-Millaut guide. Thus, creating an off-dry Riesling was a bit of an adventure for them, but it sold very well.
Straw colour as all young Rieslings, with a slight greenish reflex. This wine is fruity in the nose, white fruit, apple and a citrus touch dominating, with some flowery notes. On the palate, this wine is off-dry. It does not lack minerality. Medium acidity, the wine is pleasant, albeit a bit flat and its finish not very long. A wine to enjoy on the terrace or by the pool side.
TBM 86 points.
