Weingut Rudolf Fürst belongs to the family of the same name, which has been active in the Franken region for over four centuries, centered around the village of Bürgstadt and the historic Centgrafenberg and Hundsrück vineyards, classified as VDP.Grosse Lage! Today, Sebastian Fürst leads the estate, continuing the work of his father, Paul Fürst, with the same dedication to pure terroir expression. The winery focuses mainly on Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) and Frühburgunder (a Pinot Noir mutation that ripens earlier!), while giving special attention to white varieties such as Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) and Chardonnay. The uniqueness of the Bürgstadter Berg vineyard lies in its iron-rich red sandstone subsoil, which imparts distinctive minerality and finesse to the wines, as well as the mild microclimate of the Miltenberg basin, protected by the Odenwald and Spessart mountain ranges.
The vinification of Bürgstadter Berg Weissburgunder 2022 follows the Burgundian model. The precious juice is transferred into small oak barrels of 228 and 500 liters, where it ferments with indigenous yeasts and matures on the lees for at least 16 months!
The scores say a lot, but the real revelation comes when Bürgstadter Berg Weissburgunder 2022 from Weingut Rudolf Fürst fills your glass—and from the very first sip, you’ll definitely want more!
