Description
The 2019 Dr. Bürklin-Wolf Gaisböhl Grand Cru is a wine of exceptional quality and character.
'Juicy, piquant and salty on the palate, this is an intense but pure, linear and almost weightless dry Riesling with a crystalline structure, salinity and decent finesse.' -Robert Parker
On the palate, the wine is rich and layered, with a perfect balance between fresh acidity and ripe fruit notes. The stone fruit flavours such as peach and apricot are beautifully supported by a mineral structure, typical of the chalky soil of the Gaisböhl vineyard. The 2019 vintage adds extra complexity, with a long, silky finish in which citrus and a salty minerality come through.
The Gaisböhl vineyard: a Grand Cru with a rich history
The Gaisböhl vineyard, located in the heart of the Palatinate, is one of the exclusive Grand Cru (Grosse Lage) locations. Cultivated since the 15th century, this vineyard is famous for its chalky soil, which gives the Riesling grapes their complexity and minerality. The south-facing location ensures excellent sun exposure, which further enhances the quality of the grapes.
The Palatinate region: a unique terroir for Grand Cru wines
The Palatinate, located in the southwest of Germany, is one of the most important wine-growing regions in the country. This area is known for its excellent terroir, ideal for producing refined Riesling wines. The region benefits from a favorable climate with long, sunny days and mild temperatures, which contribute to the optimal ripening of the grapes.
Vintage 2019 Gaisböhl Grand Cru in the Palatinate
The 2019 vintage in the Palatinate is known for its exceptional quality. A cool spring ensured even growth, followed by a warm summer with sufficient rain and cool nights. This resulted in perfectly ripe Riesling grapes with lively acidity and intense aromas. Thanks to a dry autumn, the harvest was possible at the optimum time.
The climate and its influence on the wine
The microclimate in the Palatinate plays a crucial role in the production of this wine. The combination of warm summers and cool nights creates a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity in the grapes. This results in a wine with a harmonious structure and great depth of flavor.
Storage potential of this Grand Cru
The 2019 Dr. Bürklin-Wolf Gaisböhl Grand Cru has excellent aging potential. Under optimal storage conditions, this wine can continue to develop until 2050. Patience is rewarded with a refinement of the taste and an even richer aromatic complexity.

The 2019 Gaisböhl G.C. is pure, fresh and flinty on the lemon-scented nose that is the youngest of all the 2019s of the domain at this early stage. Juicy, piquant and salty on the palate, this is an intense but pure, linear and almost weightless dry Riesling with a crystalline structure, salinity and decent finesse. The finish is intense and mineral but also juicy, with concentrated fruit flavors. A promising classic, perhaps the coolest style of the 2019 vintage here. Tasted as a barrel 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.

Thursday, September 23, 2021
Country : Germany
Region : Pfalz
Vintage : 2019
Score : 95
Full of yellow fruit (the ripest nectarines), this is very juicy, but avoids any hint of opulence, thanks to the very fresh acidity that lifts everything effortlessly. The finish is oh, so silky. From biodynamically grown grapes with Biodyvin certification. Drink or hold.

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 the 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 roots of the Dr. Bürklin-Wolf go back to the 16th century. The winery, with 86 hectares of vineyards, is one of the largest private estates in Germany and has been managed since 1992 by Christian von Guradze together with his wife, the heiress to the family winery. Although it had been known for its Auslese and Trockenbeerenauslesen for some time, the focus of production shifted to dry white wines, mainly vinified from Riesling. The total production concept of the traditional company Dr. Bürklin-Wolf changed fundamentally and led it back to the top of the Palatinate wines in particular through an extreme focus on quality. The cultivation of the vineyards has been converted since 2005 in accordance with biodynamic guidelines.
