Description

The traditional Rudolf Fürst Winery in Bürgstadt (founded in 1638) has long established itself as a leading Burgundy producer – from Spätburgunder to Chardonnay. The grapes for the Astheimer Chardonnay grow on shell limestone in Astheim, a cool limestone site right next to the Escherndorfer Lumpp. The vines were planted by the winery itself and originate from Burgundian clonal material.
A charismatic and expressive Frühburgunder, whose rare grape variety and limited yields make it particularly exclusive. In the glass, this "R" displays dense aromas of ripe blackberries, sour cherries, a delicate smoky note, as well as hints of dark chocolate and herbal spice. On the palate, it presents itself as complex, elegant, and at the same time captivating, with velvety tannins and balanced freshness that give it length and structure. A true delight for lovers of special Burgundies.

Origin in Focus

Franken

Franken is a traditional wine region in northern Bavaria, shaped by shell limestone and Keuper soils along the Main, Tauber and Fränkische Saale rivers. The largely continental climate and diverse terroirs produce precise, dry wines with marked minerality. At its heart is Silvaner: clear, herbal, often with a fine salty note – an excellent food companion. Riesling, Müller-Thurgau, Weißburgunder and aromatic specialities such as Bacchus also impress; among the reds, Spätburgunder and Domina play a role.

Typical of Franken is the Bocksbeutel, the distinctive round-bodied bottle with high recognition value. Well-known sites such as Würzburger Stein, Iphöfer Julius-Echter-Berg and Escherndorfer Lump stand for independent style and regional identity. Culinarily, Franconian wines pair excellently with asparagus, trout, Franconian Brotzeit and regional dishes – straightforward, characterful and often dry in the best sense.
