Dr Bürklin Wolf – Deidesheimer Kalkofen Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese 1967

1. Summary

The Dr. Bürklin Wolf – Deidesheimer Kalkofen Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese 1967 is an extremely rare, noble sweet white wine from the Palatinate. Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA) is the highest quality classification in the German wine system and is produced from grapes that have been completely affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea) – this explains both the immense sweetness and the complex aromas, as well as the decades-long ageing potential of this wine.

5. The ‘Deidesheimer Kalkofen’ vineyard

The single vineyard ‘Deidesheimer Kalkofen’ is one of the ‘Große Lagen’ (VDP.GROSSE LAGE) of the Palatinate. It covers a total of 5 hectares, of which the Dr. Bürklin Wolf winery cultivates0.7 hectares. The name of the vineyard refers to a former lime kiln that once stood there – this shapes the calcareous, mineral-rich soil, which lends the Rieslings from this vineyard a pronounced, straightforward acidity and a limestone-driven minerality with crisp, salty accents.

Rieslings from the Kalkofen are characterised by citrus and stone fruit notes with cool, herbaceous nuances – an aromatic profile which, in a Trockenbeerenauslese, is further enriched by honey, exotic fruit and spice aromas thanks to noble rot .

6. Classification and Distinctive Features

• The winery: Dr. Bürklin Wolf is Germany’s largest family-owned winery, with 85 hectares of its own vineyards in the premier sites of the Palatinate.

• The Prädikat classification: Trockenbeerenauslese is the highest and rarest quality classification in the German Prädikat wine system. It is produced only in outstanding vintages and under optimal conditions for Botrytis infection – yields are extremely low.

• The 1967 vintage: wines of this age that are still drinkable are absolute rarities. A liquid level of 1–2 cm and an intact label/capsule indicate professional storage.
