2021 Dr. Bürklin-Wolf Gaisböhl Grand Cru

Bürklin-Wolf owns vineyards in the most famous "Lagen" of the Mittelhaardt. The company owns vineyards in different Layers (vineyards) in the towns of Forst, Deidesheim, Ruppertsberg and Wachenheim. Bürklin-Wolf uses the Burgundian model of the quality pyramid for the classification of dry Riesling wines. In this model, terroir, yield and degree of ripeness 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 Burklin Gaisböhl GC is pure, fresh and flinty/mineral on the lemon-scented nose. Juicy, spicy and salty on the palate, this is an intense but pure almost weightless dry Riesling with a mineral structure. The finish is intense and mineral but also juicy, with concentrated fruit flavours. A promising classic

The winery Dr. Bürklin-Wolf is the sole owner of this 7.6 hectare estate of which only 5.2 hectares are classified as a GC site. The origins of this location date back to the High Middle Ages. Historically, the name Gaisböhl refers to a former castle located on a hill. The southern location at the foot of the Mittelhaardt benefits from the favorable microclimatic advantages. terrace gravel deposits with clay in the soil give the Gaisböhl its fine acidity and the red sandstone makes it particularly durable and mineral.
