The Dr. Bürklin-Wolf winery is the sole owner of this 7.6-hectare prime Ruppertsberg vineyard, of which only 5.2 hectares are classified as a G.C. vineyard. The origins of this site date back to the High Middle Ages. The name Gaisböhl historically refers to a former goat pasture situated on a hill. Situated at the foot of the Mittelhaardt mountain range, the south-facing vineyard benefits from favorable microclimatic conditions. Terraced gravel deposits with clay seams in the soil give Gaisböhl its powerful body and delicate acidity, while the red sandstone ensures its exceptional longevity.

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.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 95
"From up to 44-year-old vines in the estate's 7.55-hectare monopole, the 2021 Gaisböhl G.C. opens with a pure, fresh, intense, slightly reductive, lemon-scented nose of ripe fruit aromas and flinty notes. Saline, fresh and tensioned on the palate, this is a full-bodied, rich and and substantial, vital and tensioned Riesling with a dense, saline and savory finish that reveals great aging potential. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in November 2022." -Stephan Reinhardt

Decanter

"Beautiful balance of stone fruit, peach and citrus notes. Harmonious rounded structure with fresh acidity and a fine intense finish."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 95
"There's a flinty quality to this rather young, but beautifully put-together white, which is framed by firm acidity, while displaying flavors of sea salt-accented smoke, quince, lemon curd, honeysuckle and wet stone. This is really centered around its minerality and texture, with all the other pieces just adding to the symphony. It is sleek and elegant and will only show its best in years to come. Best after 2026." -Aleks Zecevic
