Dr. Bürklin-Wolf

Producer description of "Weingut Dr. Bürklin-Wolf"

The winery is located in the municipality of Wachenheim (Mittelhaardt-Deutsche Weinstraße) in the German wine-growing region of Pfalz. Its roots go back to the end of the 16th century to Bernhard Bürklin (1580-1636). His Renaissance house, built in 1606, still stands today. It was given its current name in 1875 when Luise Wolf (1848-1882) married Privy Councillor Dr Albert Bürklin (1844-1924). After the turn of the century, Dr Bürklin developed the estate into a top farm.

The next owner was the great-nephew of Privy Councillor Dr Albert Bürklin (1907-1979; see the family history in detail there). In 1990, it was taken over by his daughter Bettina Bürklin-von Guradze and her husband Christian Gurazde. The winery subsequently introduced comprehensive measures to improve quality and was the initiator of Grosses Gewächs Pfalz with the aim of a Palatinate vineyard classification. Today, the estate is one of the largest privately owned wineries in Germany. Steffen Brahner has been the managing director since 2008.
