2019 | Rudolf Furst | Schlossberg Spatburgunder GG

Lovely summer-flower aromas and behind them there’s fine red-cherry fruit. Very elegant, medium-bodied pinot noir with invigorating freshness that fits beautifully with the concentrated, fine tannins on the palate. Long, refined finish.

Reviews:

• James Suckling: The 2019 Spätburgunder Schlossberg GG shows a refined and refreshing yet incredibly intense and aromatic bouquet of pure cherries and a hint of currant. Silky, pure and refined on the palate, this is a full-bodied, energetic, fresh and tensioned Pinot with a very intense, French character that pairs power and intensity with finesse and stimulating salinity. A great, pure, absolutely refreshing and tensioned Pinot of great class. Incredibly salty but beautifully fresh and vertical on the finish. 13% alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in October 2021. Drink: 2021-2040.

Producer Information

Weingut Rudolf Fürst (often referred to as Fürst) is a well-regarded wine producer based in Bürgstadt, in the Franken region of southern central Germany, particularly known for its Spätburgunder (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 Fürst took over the family winery. Through renovation of the winery and vineyard as well as a program of gradual vineyard expansion, the Fürsts were able to revitalise and grow production. The estate now boasts 21 hectares (52 hectares) of vines, of which 60 percent is Spätburgunder. The wine portfolio is headed up by the GG (Grosses Gewächs – similar to Grand Cru) Centgrafenberg, Schlossberg and Hundsrück single-vineyard Spätburgunder labels. A number of Chardonnay, Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) and Riesling wines are also produced (some also with Grosses Gewächs designation). The offering is rounded off with the Parzival red blend (generally based on the Zweigelt and Domina varieties).
