Burklin Masterclass Melbourne

In this discipline , this estate has essentially no rival in all of Germany. In fact, given their sheer vineyard potential-they're capable of producing seven grand crus and an equal number of premier crus in any given vintage-this may well be the best and most consistent producer of great dry Riesling in the world. JOEL B PAYNE, Vinous Media

Based in the quality core of the world-renowned Pfalz this family estate has been making wine from the golden hills around Wachenheim, Forst and Ruppertsberg since 1597. These revered dry and powerful wines once garnered prices that exceeded Bordeaux's first growths and many Grand Cru Burgundies.

There is no Riesling of similar weight and complexity with comparable elegance and finesse. STEPHAN REINHARDT, The Finest Wines of Germany.

Today meticulous work in the vineyards and in the winery produces some of the world's greatest dry Rieslings. The family accesses some of the finest sites in all of Germany with an impressive cache of G.C. (Grand Cru) and P.C. (Premiere Cru) vineyards at their dispose. An envious situation that very few estates are lucky enough to enjoy.

Today Nicola Libelli heads up the winemaking team. In 2012 the then intern and recent Geisenheim wine school graduate, was thrust into the chief winemaking role his talent, vision and dedication since propelling the already revered estate even further into the upper echelons of the German wine scene. His use of large barrels, extended lees work and wild yeast have brought new depth and complexity to the wines and have elevated the family estate to the pre-eminent producer of dry riesling.

From the incredible estate bottling through to the best G.C sites a tasting with the wines of Burklin Wolf is nothing short of impressive. The quality starts from a very high base and gets exceedingly impressive exceptionally quick. We hope you enjoy.
