Nitzsche & Friends: "Among neighbors" - Winery Bürklin-Wolf

7 p.m. | Restaurant L.A. Jordan

Further information

Tonight our guest of honor is the Bürklin-Wolf winery, also known as one of the three big “B’s” of the Palatinate (alongside the wineries Geh. Rat Dr. von Bassermann-Jordan and Reichsrat von Buhl).
And because our sommelier is very keen to work closely with us, we have recently added Schatzkammer wines from the Bürklin-Wolf winery to our wine list.

The winery enjoys a great national and international reputation and, together with a few other wineries, forms the German spearhead for the great Rieslings of our country. Nitzsche sees Bürklin-Wolf as a pioneer and trailblazer for biodynamic working methods in the vineyard. It seems self-explanatory that the soil is the number one resource for good wine. And it goes without saying that Bürklin-Wolf is committed to the sustainable use of the soil in the vineyard – for us and for future generations.
