Bürgstadter Riesling Trocken

Riesling from Bunter sandstone – that's the signature style of Rudolf Fürst. The Bürgstadt Riesling Trocken shows what this red soil in the Mainviereck region brings out in the grape variety: not a soft, pleasing quality, but tension and depth.

The Rudolf Fürst winery in Bürgstadt is considered one of the leading wineries in Franconia. Known primarily for its Pinot Noir, Paul Fürst has consistently cultivated vineyards with red sandstone for decades – a soil that imparts a salty minerality and firm structure to white wines that is rarely found elsewhere.

In the glass, the Riesling displays aromas of grapefruit, nectarine, and a hint of green apple. The acidity is present but integrated—not sharp and piercing, but a juicy, cool line that invigorates the palate. The finish has a slightly salty, mineral note that speaks of the red sandstone terroir.

Serving suggestion: Well chilled at 10–12 °C. Pairs well with pike-perch with herb butter, asparagus with hollandaise sauce, or fresh goat cheese. Also a good choice as a simple aperitif with bread and olive oil.
