Hand-picked and hand-selected grapes. Fermentation on the skins in a traditional open-top oak fermenter. Gentle pressing followed by maturation for around 18 months in 228-litre Burgundian oak barrels. Then bottling.
Complex and expressive aromas of forest fruit and graphite alongside meaty and spicy notes. This is a vibrant Pinot Noir of breed and cool minerality, its incredible elegance framed by a sense of purity and precision.
The Fürst family own 2.5 hectares in this partially terraced vineyard next to the town of Burgstädt. Since 2003, the estate has been producing a Spätburgunder Grosses Gewächs from this stony plot composed of weathered red sandstone. This soil is perfect for growing vines, as it absorbs the sun's warmth while also providing good drainage and aeration.
