Riesling pur Mineral - Rudolf Fürst

The barrel-aged Riesling pur Mineral from the wine-growing region of Franconia reveals itself in the glass in brilliantly shimmering light yellow. Poured into a white wine glass, this white wine from the Old World presents wonderfully expressive aromas of ripe apple and peach, rounded off by other fruity nuances contributed by the barrel aging.

The Rudolf Fürst Riesling pur Mineral presents itself to the wine drinker wonderfully dry. This white wine is never coarse or meager, but round and smooth. On the palate, the texture of this light-footed white wine is wonderfully light. In the finish, this youthful wine from the wine-growing region of Franconia finally inspires with considerable length. There are again hints of ripe apple and peach. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the sandstone-dominated soils join in.

Vinification of Rudolf Fürst Riesling pur Mineral

The basis for the elegant Riesling pur Mineral from Franconia are grapes from the Riesling grape variety. In Franconia, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils of sandstone. After the hand harvest, the grapes reach the winery by the fastest route. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. Then fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and large wood at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by aging for several months on the fine lees before the wine is finally drawn into bottles.
