Burgerspital Wurzburger Pfaffenberg Grauer Burgunder Erste Lage 2023

Description

With a wine-growing area of 110 hectares, Bürgerspital wine-growing estate, at home in a fantastically beautiful courtyard right in the middle of Würzburg, is one of the largest wine-growing estates in Germany and one of the most important.

A combination of the estate’s proud tradition, the wonderful vineyards in their splendid locations, the fecund nature of the soil and the climate make up very fine unique quality wines. Long-matured, carefully nurtured and hand-picked, the grapes arrive at the winery in autumn. Here, they are gently and deftly processed, but it is in the cellar where the quality is formed and preserved.

Tasting Notes

Grown on steep slopes and carefully hand selected grapes, short maceration, spontaneous fermentation and aged on the fine lees in large oak barrels. Pome fruit aromas, peppery with a creamy finish

Serving Suggestions

A excellent partner with fish, seafood and white meat as well as lamb, beef and Mediterranean cuisine.
