The Rudolf Fürst Bürgstadt Centgrafenberg Riesling GG 2020 is an outstanding dry Riesling from one of Franconia’s most prestigious vineyard sites.

Produced by the renowned Weingut Rudolf Fürst in Bürgstadt, this Grosses Gewächs combines mineral precision, elegant fruit and remarkable depth with the distinctive character of the Centgrafenberg’s iron-rich red sandstone soils.

The 2020 vintage was awarded 94 points by Falstaff, which praised its complex citrus-driven bouquet, refined acidity, concentration and excellent ageing potential.

Tasting Notes

The nose is complex and refined, revealing aromas of:

• Lemon and citrus zest
• White and yellow peach

On the palate, the wine is precise and concentrated with vibrant acidity, pronounced minerality and impressive depth.

The Centgrafenberg Vineyard

The Centgrafenberg is one of Bürgstadt’s most important historic vineyard sites.

Rudolf Fürst’s Rieslings are grown on the region’s distinctive red sandstone, giving the wines a particularly crystalline, mineral style. The estate describes its Centgrafenberg Grosses Gewächs Rieslings as combining white-peach and citrus aromas with exceptional ageing potential.
