Bürklin-Wolf owns vineyards in the most famous “Lagen” of the Mittelhaardt. The company owns vineyards in several Lagen (vineyards) in the towns of Forst, Deidesheim, Ruppertsberg and Wachenheim. For the classification of dry Riesling wines, Bürklin-Wolf uses the Burgundian model of the quality pyramid. In this model, the terroir, yield and maturity of the grapes are taken into account, so Grand Cru (GC) and Premier Cru are used. Bürklin-Wolf is a member of the VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikats- und Qualitätsweingüter) but nevertheless does not use the term Grosses Gewächs.
the dr. Bürklin-Wolf Ruppertsberger Hoheburg Premier Cru Riesling comes from the 20-hectare prime location of Ruppertsberg and takes its name from a town from the 14th century. The share of Dr. Bürklin-Wolf is 4.68 ha and this plot is located at the foot of the Mittelhaard and benefits from the favorable microclimatic advantages. White, overlying Buntsandstein ensures an optimal heat balance. The Riesling grapes ferment with spontaneous fermentation (ie with the yeasts naturally present on the grapes) and the wine in large oak barrels on its yeasts (sur lie) until bottling. Adjacent to the Gaisböhl, this Hoheburg has a powerful fruit and creaminess. At the same time she impresses with her
deep minerality and juiciness. The wine opens with a somewhat wild but pure and exciting bouquet of crushed stone and rather floral Riesling aromas. Lush and round in the mouth, this is a charmingly fruity, refined and elegant dry Riesling with a salt-crystalline and stimulating spicy finish. This is an expressive top Riesling.

August 2020 Week 2, The Wine Advocate
The 2019 Ruppertsberger Riesling opens with a somewhat wild yet pure and thrilling bouquet of crushed stones and rather floral Riesling aromas. Lush and round on the palate, this is a charmingly fruity, refined and elegant dry Riesling with a salty-crystalline and stimulatingly piquant finish. This is already very expressive terroir Riesling and, after 2018, the second top wine for a rather moderate price. Tasted as a sample in April 2020.

Bürklin-Wolf owns vineyards in the most renowned “Lagen” of the Mittelhaardt. The estate has plots in several Lagen (vineyards) located in Forst, Deidesheim, Ruppertsberg, and Wachenheim. For the classification of its dry Riesling wines, Bürklin-Wolf uses the Burgundian model of the quality pyramid.
This system takes terroir, yield, and grape ripeness into account, using Grand Cru (GC) and Premier Cru classifications. Bürklin-Wolf is a member of the VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikats- und Qualitätsweingüter) but does not use the term Grosses Gewächs.
The story of Dr. Bürklin-Wolf began in 1597 and has since been closely intertwined with the history of German winemaking. The estate is still family-owned and today ranks among the very best in Germany. With 86 hectares of vineyards, it is one of the largest privately owned wine estates in the country. Since 1992, the winery has been led by Christian von Guradze and his wife Bettina Bürklin-von Guradze, heir to the family estate. Under their guidance, the winery has undergone an impressive quality evolution, notably as one of the first German producers to fully embrace biodynamic viticulture.
While the estate was once best known for its Auslese and Trockenbeerenauslesen, the focus has shifted to top-level dry white wines, vinified almost exclusively from Riesling.
The story of Dr. Bürklin-Wolf began in 1597 and has since been deeply rooted in the history of German winemaking. The estate remains in the hands of the Bürklin family, who are now among the elite of the German wine world. Under the leadership of Bettina Bürklin-von Guradze, the winery has seen a remarkable increase in quality, including becoming one of the first German estates to transition entirely to biodynamic farming.
The winery, with 86 hectares of vineyards, is one of the largest privately owned estates in Germany and has been managed since 1992 by Christian von Guradze together with his wife, the heir to the family winery. While once known primarily for its Auslese and Trockenbeerenauslesen, the emphasis of production has shifted toward dry white wines, predominantly made from Riesling.
Dr. Bürklin-Wolf was the first German winery to fully commit to the biodynamic principles of Demeter in 2005. This approach, which centers on the harmony between people, nature, and wine, results in healthy vineyards and grapes of exceptional quality. The wines are vibrant, pure, and expressive of their origin.
Dr. Bürklin-Wolf focuses exclusively on Riesling, the ideal grape to showcase the unique character of the Pfalz. The vineyards are classified into ‘Grosse Lagen’ (Grand Cru) and ‘Erste Lagen’ (Premier Cru), following the Burgundian model. Renowned vineyard sites such as Pechstein, Kirchenstück, and Gaisböhl produce Rieslings that can age effortlessly for decades.
From the fresh, accessible entry-level Rieslings to the impressive Grosse Gewächse: every Dr. Bürklin-Wolf wine is a model of precision and purity. Whether you choose the elegant Ruppertsberger Hoheburg Erste Lage or the monumental Forster Kirchenstück G.C., you always taste the unique terroir of the Pfalz.
At Grandcruwijnen, you'll find a wide selection of Dr. Bürklin-Wolf wines, imported directly from Germany. As a specialist in high-quality German Rieslings, we offer a carefully curated range, from crisp entry-level wines to complex premium bottles with excellent aging potential.
Serve a dry Bürklin-Wolf Riesling with oysters, ceviche, or sushi. The more powerful GG wines pair beautifully with veal, rich fish dishes, or spicy Asian cuisine. For optimal expression, serve the wine between 8 and 10°C.
