Every great estate needs an everyday bottle, and this is Burklin-Wolf's. It's the foundation of the range: dry Riesling drawn from young vines within their home village of Wachenheim, carrying the house's hallmark precision at the most casual level. The 2024 is bright, snappy, and built for weeknights rather than the cellar. Serve it well chilled as an aperitif or pour it alongside dinner and let it do its job without fuss. From a historic biodynamic family estate, it's proof that 'entry-level' and 'seriously made' aren't opposites.

"The 2024 Riesling Wachenheim Village was harvested across the village's Erste Lagen. It fermented half and half in stainless steel and large barrel. A lovely tremble of reduction is flinty on the nose. The palate is beautifully light, elongated and creamy, with a kiss of oak and tender freshness. This is a relatively mellow and mild Riesling with exquisite lightness and a pithy finish." —Anne Krebiehl, MW

More about Dr Burklin-Wolf

Dr. Bürklin-Wolf, one of the renowned 3 B's of Germany's Pfalz, along with Basserman-Jordan, von Buhl (today's von Winning), are now making the best wines in their 400 year history. This family-run estate has been a go-to for Riesling fanatics for generations even if their presence in the NY market waned for a few years. Fortunately, they've found a home with top German wine importer, Skurnik Wine & Spirits, and are back with a line up of absolutely gorgeous wines.

The Pfalz is unlike any other German wine region and really, unlike any other wine region in the world. It's a diverse landscape of varied soil types, topography and grapes, producing a plethora of styles. The one thing the best estates have in common is devotion to Riesling, but of a singular style compared to those produced further north, in the Mosel or Rheingau.

The majority are dry, complex, structured, and overtly textural. The best are power-houses of sinewy density and mineralic concentration. All possess that inherent steely spike of acidity, a signature of German wines.

They have prime vineyard holdings, but the key is their team. Bettina Bürklin-von Guradze took over in 1990 with relentless quest for quality ever since (they were the first estate certified by Biodyvin, the biodynamic certifier for DRC). Young gun's Nicola Libelli (cellar master) and Jan Hock (Chef de Culture/vineyard manager) have infused the place and the wines with a raw energy and focus. Never have site and cellar been so aligned, and the results are palpable.

WINE GUIDES

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
