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 dr. Bürklin-Wolf Wachenheimer Rechbächel Premier Cru Riesling comes from a 3 ha vineyard and is one of the best locations in Wachenheim and is exclusively owned (monopole) by the Dr. Burklin-Wolf. The vineyard is situated on a south facing slope providing optimum sunshine which warms the red and yellow sandstone and gravel soil. The soil has a 1.20 m thick layer of alluvial rock at a depth of 1.80 m and here the roots of the vine are very well supplied with water and minerals. These types of vineyards show that biodynamic cultivation helps vineyards to be supplied with sufficient water in dry periods and in wet and cold periods the soil provides sufficient drainage and water. As long as the vines get time to find their place instead of spoiling it too much with irrigation and fertilizer. The selective manual picking is followed by gentle pressing. Spontaneous fermentation in large, old oak barrels and 10-12 months aging sur lie in the same barrels. The Wachenheimer Rechbächel is a classic fruit-driven mineral Riesling with fine herbal aromas, concentrated, with a powerful mouthfeel and juicy acidity. It is a fascinating, pure, flinty, stony and spicy Riesling that is clearly terroir-driven.

August 2020 Week 2, The Wine Advocate
The 2019 Wachenheimer Rechbächel P.C. is another fascinating, pure, flinty, stony and herbal Riesling that is clearly terroir-driven. Pure and crystalline on the palate, this is a linear, juicy and elegant Riesling with a well-concentrated and decent finish. 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.

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.
