Furst Spatburgunder Tradition 2020

Weingut Rudolf Fürst has a long tradition. The Franconian family Fürst can document their history as winegrowers back to 1638. Paul’s father, who died at a very early age, had a small farm in the old town of Bürgstadt. He raised animals and cultivated fruit trees, vines and even tobacco, which was once common in the region.

When Paul and Monika Fürst took over the winery in 1979, they built today’s estate buildings on the outskirts of the village. In recent years they've been joined buy their son Sebastian. The winery lies nestled in the heart of the Centgrafenberg vineyard with a magnificent view of the medieval half-timbered village of Miltenberg. Because the land was parcelled off through the inheritance of successive generations, the remaining vineyard area covered only 1.5 hectares. The Fürst Family renovated and re-cultivated the particularly beautiful, steep parcels in the best sites. They gradually expanded the vineyard area to the current 21 hectares, 60% of which is planted with Spätburgunder (aka Pinot Noir).
