Vineyards:
The "little" brother of Centgrafenberg and Hundsrück. The Bürgstadter Berg benefits from the mild, warm microclimate protected by the low mountain range Odenwald and Spessart.
Ageing method:
old barriques aging
Winemaking process:
This Erste Lage Pinot Noir is drawn only from Fürst's two top Bürgstadt sites, Centgrafenberg and Hundsrück, at yields of about 4-4.5 tons per hectare. It ferments in open vats, partly with whole bunches, and ages about 18 months in barrique. Hundsrück's stony, thin soil gives power, while Centgrafenberg brings finesse.
Interesting notes:
Rudolf Furst is not an ordinary producer. and below are several references which help us grasp the substance of Rudolf Furst: Jancis Robinson MW: “Rudolf Fürst is an acknowledged Pinot magician in Germany, not just with Spätburgunder, but also Frühburgunder.” Hugh Johnson – Hugh Johnson’s Wine Guide: Rudolf Fürst produces “some of the best Franconian wines… especially the Burgundy‑style Spatburgunders (rightly regarded as the finest in Germany).” Falstaff Wine Magazine: “Wine after wine is once again outstandingly good, stylish, close to perfection… consistency over decades is unrivalled.”
Vinoteka's note
The “little brother” of Fürst's grand crus, from parcels within the Centgrafenberg and Hundsrück on iron-rich red sandstone, aged 18 months in barrique. A cool, powerful yet very fine Pinot: clove, cherry, hibiscus and young raspberry. From the 2022 vintage that Wine Advocate called the best it had tasted in Germany in 25 years. Serve at 15–17 °C with game terrine, duck, steak or mountain cheese; best from 2028.
