Weingut Rudolf Fürst, established in the Franconian village of Bürgstadt since 1638, represents one of Germany's finest Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder) producers. The estate crafts wines using low-tech, minimal-intervention winemaking: open-mash fermentation followed by 12-20 months in Burgundian oak barrels, bottled without filtration. This Riesling—a departure from the estate's Spätburgunder focus—captures the distinctive character of Franken's rocky Buntsandstein (red sandstone) soils. The Pur Mineral designation indicates wines emphasizing minerality and terroir expression. These wines are expected to arrive February 26—a brief wait for wines of genuine character and complexity. For those seeking to understand German Riesling beyond the Mosel and Rhine regions, Fürst's Franken expressions offer new perspectives.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Pan-seared white fish; Roasted chicken with herbs; Asian cuisine with ginger; Soft cheeses

Mineral-driven with stone fruit and citrus from rocky soils. Medium-bodied, dry, with excellent acidity and focus. The Buntsandstein soils create distinctive minerality—reddish clay-influenced, focused.

WINE GUIDES

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
