Description

The Astheimer Chardonnay is delicate, playful and powerful at the same time. The shell limestone soil imparts fine minerality and the delicious Mediterranean fruit flavors while the aging of the barrique gives the Chardonnay its roasted aromas and maturation on the yeast imparts complexity.

Weingut Rudolf Furst

Franconian family Fürst can document their history as winegrowers back to 1638. When Paul and Monika Fürst took over the winery in 1979, they built today’s estate buildings on the outskirts of the village. They renovated and re-cultivated the particularly beautiful, steep parcels in the best sites. They gradually expanded the vineyard area to the current 21 hectare. Their goal was to learn about and produce great Spätburgunder in a time before it was popular in Germany.

Franken

Franken, a distinctive wine region in northern Bavaria, Germany, is renowned for its unique wines and historic traditions. It benefits from a continental climate with warm summers and cold winters, as well as varied soils, including limestone and clay, ideal for viticulture. The area is particularly famous for its Silvaner, which produces wines with crisp acidity, earthy minerality, and subtle fruit flavors. It also excels in producing Müller-Thurgau, Bacchus, and Riesling, known for their aromatic and refreshing qualities. Franken's wines are often bottled in the traditional Bocksbeutel, a flat, round bottle. With its blend of unique terroir, traditional winemaking techniques, and characteristic bottle shape, Franken offers a captivating wine experience for anyone seeking high-quality and intrigue.
