Bürklin-Wolf owns vineyards in the most famous “Lagen” of the Mittelhaardt. The company owns vineyards in various Lagen (vineyards) in the towns of Forst, Deidesheim, Ruppertsberg and Wachenheim. Bürklin-Wolf uses the Burgundian model of the quality pyramid to classify dry Riesling wines. This model takes into account the terroir, yield and ripeness of the grapes, 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 Riesling Wachenheim from the Palatinate has notes of citrus zest, is extremely precise and stony with a fascinating crispy/stony and cool nose. Round and quite juicy yet pure and with fine tannins, this is a textured and quite mild Riesling, but so elegant, with a generous and charming character. Naturally organic/biodynamic and compared to the Erste Lage/Grosses Gewächs version, they have an excellent price/quality because this is from Dr. Bürklin-Wolf.

August 2020 Week 2, The Wine Advocate
The 2019 Wachenheimer Riesling is lemon-fresh, precise and stony on the pure, fascinatingly crunchy/stony and coolish nose. Round and quite juicy yet pure and with fine tannins, this is a textured and rather mild Riesling, but so elegant, with a generous and charming character. Tasted as a sample in April 2020.
I already reported enthusiastically about the 2017 grand crus and the 2018 premier crus from Bürklin-Wolf earlier this year, yet the samples of Nicola Libelli's 2019 G.C. and P.C. Rieslings blew me away. I can hardly imagine better wines were produced in the Pfalz than here last year. Most likely, the 2019 Kirchenstück G.C. and the Pechstein G.C., both from Forst, and even the Langenmorgen G.C. from Deidesheim, are among the finest dry Rieslings I have ever tasted from Germany. The wines are deep, rich, powerful and dramatic yet so fine and elegant and reveal vibrating energy that guarantees a long run. I tasted the wines from the same bottle over a period of nearly three weeks, and they didn't stop impressing me. The 2019s will be released together with the 2018 G.C. bottlings in September this year. If you ever have the chance, you should definitely subscribe to the 2019s (I haven’t yet tasted the 2018 G.C. bottlings). With Molitor's dry Doctor Auslese from 2016 and 2017 and the unforgettable 1990 Kallstadter Saumagen Auslese trocken R from Koehler-Ruprecht, Bürklin's 2019 Kirchenstück and Pechstein—and eventually also the 2019 Langenmorgen—are pinnacles in the history of dry German Riesling. I have also placed my order for several premier crus (Böhlig and Gerümpel, for example) that deliver world-class qualities for a very moderate price. Also, the Gaisböhl G.C. costs a fraction of the very rare Pechstein and Kirchenstück icon wines and is worth an investment. Last but not least, the Forst Riesling Village is an exceptional Riesling for a very moderate price.
Nicola Libelli finds 2019 to be the best vintage he has ever produced. "The berries were perfectly ripe and concentrated, with fantastic acidity that was enormously high but also ripe, with no greenish features," he said. Everything was picked in September, earlier than any other producer in Forst. "We finished in the Kirchenstück when our colleagues started their pre-selections," he said.
"Normally, we preselect 20% to 30% of the crop and leave the rest for our grand crus, which we always pick with a final yield of roughly 25 hectoliters per hectare. Last year, however, the grapes looked just beautiful 10 days before the harvest. So, we only did some cosmetic work, took the green grapes and reduced the yields by 5% to 10% before we picked the grapes for the grand crus about 10 days later," reported Nicola. "A vintage like 2019 is something you get perhaps only once in 10 years. I am very happy with the results." The 2019 premier and grand cru wines were bottled in July 2020. I will taste them from the bottle again after the 2020 harvest along with the 2018s G.C. bottlings.

Drink Date
2023 - 2038
From red and yellow sandstone soils of the premier crus but earlier pickings and younger vines, the 2021 Wachenheimer Riesling Village offers a clear, pure, fresh, precise and flinty bouquet of concentrated lemons and ripe yellow seed fruits. Round and lush but rather crystalline, this is a fresh and linear Riesling with precise acidity that transports the wine to a stimulating, savory and grippy finish. Bring the fish! 12% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted in November 2022.

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.

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.
