Bürgerspital Spätburgunder Trocken , VDP 2024

Bürgerspital is one of Germany's oldest and most distinguished wine estates, founded in 1316 in Würzburg, Franconia. Originally established as a charitable foundation to care for the elderly and disadvantaged, it has maintained its winemaking tradition for more than 700 years. Today, the estate manages approximately 120 hectares of vineyards and is a founding member of the prestigious VDP association. Bürgerspital is particularly recognised for its Riesling, Silvaner and Burgundian varieties, producing wines that express the distinctive shell-limestone soils of Franken. Combining historic craftsmanship with modern precision, the estate consistently delivers elegant, terroir-driven wines.
The Spätburgunder is a dry Pinot Noir from Bürgerspital's vineyards in Franken. Made from carefully selected grapes and fermented on the skins, it undergoes malolactic fermentation before maturing in large wooden barrels. This traditional approach preserves the wine's delicate Burgundian character while adding structure and complexity.
