Enveloping nose of fresh papayas with notes of orange blossoms and tropical flowers. Enormous density and ripeness, but still only medium-bodied. The stunning freshness lifts the very long and extremely fine finish that has a powdery texture unlike any other dry riesling I can think of. From biodynamically grown grapes. Vegan.

95/97

The 2023 Riesling Deidensheimer Hohenmorgen G.C. was harvested in Triassic sandstone, red and yellow, on a southeast-facing plateau, ventilated but warm. Smooth yeast, gentle wood creaminess, white peach and ripe lemon come together on the nose. The palate has hints of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice notes and the gentleness of white peach juice. All is here; all is serene, and all is creamy yet bright. The 2023 is dewy, fresh, elegant, complete and utterly serene. What a beauty, what balance, what mellow freshness. What class, this wine is a total star. Really old vines may be the secret here. (Bone-dry)

95P+: Bürklin's 2023 Hohenmorgen G.C. is a deep, intense and fleshy, super aromatic, saline and crunchy-mineral Riesling with fully ripe mango and pineapple aromas. Savory, fresh and saline on the palate, this full-bodied Riesling is remarkably fine and elegant and develops a long, complex and stimulating saline, crunchy and salivating finish. This is a gorgeous, vital and salivating grand cru. 12.5% stated alcohol. Diam 30 cork.
