Founded in 1597, The Bürklin-Wolf estate is based in the Mittelhaardt, the quality core of Germany's world-renowned Pfalz, with their 85ha spread around the around the towns of Wachenheim, Forst, Deidesheim and Ruppertsberg.

They are the largest family owned estate in Germany and are in possession of some of the most prized plots in the country with holdings in the famed crus of Kirchenstück, Jesuitengarten, Ungeheuer and Pechstein, which have for centuries been recognised as producing not only some of the world's greatest dry Rieslings, but simply some of the world's greatest wines. 

With a history as long as theirs, there has of course been evolutional change and adaptation as they strive to produce some of the finest single site wines in Germany. With that focus on site specifics of village and vineyard, their wines are produced and labeled more in the vein of Burgundy with their own designation of PC and GC, short for Premier Cru and Grand Cru, having adopted these well before the GG system was implemented.

The Forst is stunning blend of young vine material from two of their prized plots, GC Jesuitengarten (50%) and Pechstein (50%). Immensely flavoured with structure and depth from vines that are so young. Bergamot and oolong tea are finely detailed with a delicate structure, the wine has volume and generosity but at no expense to the fine and delicate parts of its detail. 

The quality absolutely shines here, and is but a snip of the GC wines from either of these sites if your lucky enough to get them.
