White Wine: 2020 | Rudolf Furst | Centgrafenberg Riesling GG

On the nose a hint of wooden Fuder barrel followed by a multi-layered fruity, floral and savoury bouquet dominated by citrus tones. Profound fruit, good density but not overbearing, refined acidity, very complete.

Reviews:

• James Suckling: The extremely youthful nose of spring blossoms leads you into this pristine dry riesling that has a ton of minerality packed into its sleek silhouette. Very long, lively finish thats super-refreshing. Drink or hold.

Producer Information

Weingut Rudolf Frst (often referred to as Frst) is a well-regarded wine producer based in Brgstadt, in the Franken region of southern central Germany, particularly known for its Sptburgunder (Pinot Noir) wines. The modern history of the estate (which can trace its family winegrowing history back to the 17th Century) 1979 when Paul and Monica Frst took over the family winery. Through renovation of the winery and vineyard as well as a program of gradual vineyard expansion, the Frsts were able to revitalise and grow production. The estate now boasts 21 hectares (52 hectares) of vines, of which 60 percent is Sptburgunder. The wine portfolio is headed up by the GG (Grosses Gewchs similar to Grand Cru) Centgrafenberg, Schlossberg and Hundsrck single-vineyard Sptburgunder labels. A number of Chardonnay, Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) and Riesling wines are also produced (some also with Grosses Gewchs designation). The offering is rounded off with the Parzival red blend (generally based on the Zweigelt and Domina varieties).
