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 Böhlig vineyard in Wachenheim is 4.94 hectares in size and is one of the few vineyards in the Mittelhaardt with weathered sandstone and limestone soil which provide an excellent supply of minerals and water. The south slope gives perfect sun exposure. to the dr. Bürklin-Wolf Wachenheimer Böhlig Premier Cru everything is right. Perfect fruit, great length with ripe and elegant acidity. The fantastic structure is the basis for a great aging potential. After manual harvesting, the grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation in large, old oak barrels, maturing on the yeast in the same barrels until bottling.
