Dr. Bürklin-Wolf Description
Located in Wachenheim, this estate was one of the “Three Bs of the Pfalz”; historically Basserman-Jordan, von Buhl, and Bürklin-Wolf were the most important estates in the Pfalz. Today, Dr. Bürklin-Wolf is one of the finest estates in all of Germany, a certified organic, biodynamic, and family-owned winery with a 400-year history. Today, Dr. Bürklin-Wolf is owned by Bettina Bürklin-von Guradze, who took over the estate from her father in 1990. Between 1990 and 2005, she took steps to improve every aspect of the estate. In 2005, under Ms. Bürklin-von Guradze’s guidance, the estate became the first producer in Germany to be certified by Biodyvin, the biodynamic certifier for Leflaive, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, and 175 other top growers in France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Switzerland. The winery has both a deep history and a reputation for innovation. Today, Bürklin-Wolf produces only handpicked, estate-grown wines on 86 hectares, with 15 different top vineyard sites. The idea is to focus on the raw material, health, and balance in the vineyards using biodynamic methods to produce wines of outstanding quality.
Vinous: 88 Points
Scents and juicy palate presence of fresh apple dominate the proceedings. The palate impression is polished, soft, and a bit loose, but there is still enough tang to lend stimulation on a finish that happily shares with other Kauer 2018s an admirable sense of transparency to underlying stone.
Wine Advocate: 88 Points
The 2018 Riesling Trocken is very ripe and intense on the nose that displays stewed, ripe fruit aromas (mirabelles, peaches, apricots) but also a certain freshness due to clayey soils. Lush and pure on the palate, this is an intense, well-structured and salty-mineral dry Riesling that has been predominantly fermented in stainless steel. Very good.
