The Dr. Bürklin-Wolf Estate has a tradition dating back to 1597, it is one of the largest and most important Estates in Germany.

"As winegrowers, we try to create a balance between the plant and the environment. This is best achieved by promoting the plants' own forces. To this end, our winery produces the biodynamic preparations itself."

JAN HOCK - VINEYARD & BIODYNAMICS

In a treasure trove of top sites in the unique landscape of the Mittelhaardt, we produce Riesling of the highest quality in harmony with nature. The winery has always been considered a pioneer and trailblazer of change in German viticulture.

"The idea becomes our philosophy"

This contact with biodynamics coincided with our passion for producing wines that have even more typical site or terroir expression. It had been clear to us for some time that we would not be able to achieve this by introducing innovations in the cellar. An intense exchange of views with our colleagues already implementing biodynamic measures ensued, and resulted in our decision in 2005 to transform the Estate in its entirety to this new method of viticulture. In recognition of the fact that biodynamics involves work in very small steps, we can now appreciate that this decision was fundamental, and showed us the way. The soils are more vital, the vines are more resistant, and the wines much more individual than they were in the past.

"I want to make wines that are clear, pure, fine and complex, with all the vibrant power, tension and structure that, we can expect from some of Germany's greatest terroirs."
