This winery has led the movement for the recovery of the classification of the vineyards according to the Burgundian model of 'Grand cru' and '1st cru' to the point of having abandoned the classification according to the pradikat, a scale that classifies wines according to the degree of sugar that the grapes have when harvested (from the lightest Kabinett, the Spätlese, to the most powerful Auslese ...) in favor of the name of the payments.

The winery is located in an impressive palace belonging to the family that founded it in the year 1597, represented at present by Bettinna Bürklin and her husband Christian von Gurazde.
