Goldbächel is a top-ranked site in Wachenheim and Dr Bürklin-Wolf owns 3ha of the 4.3ha vineyard with this wine coming from 1.59ha planted in 1991. The south- facing slope ensures optimum exposure to the sun, warming the yellow and red sandstone gravel soil. At a depth of 1.8m there is a 1.2m thick layer of alluvial rock. Here the roots of the vines are very well supplied with water and minerals.
