2024 Furmint FB

This Furmint from the Flörsheim-Dalsheimer Frauenberg grows at the highest point of the site on stony, limestone-rich soils. The densely planted vines, spaced 60 cm apart, stand between grafted-over vines more than 30 years old; the natural competition encourages deep rooting and an intense connection to the soil. The reduced yield per vine leads to higher extract, more concentrated berry skins and wines with clear minerality, precision and a distinct sense of origin. In an increasingly warm site, Furmint, with its late ripening and natural acidity, proves to be the ideal grape variety for the future of the Frauenberg.

Like all our single-vineyard wines, this Furmint is matured in clay amphora. The amphora allows an unadulterated, transparent expression of the terroir and, through a continuous, very gentle supply of oxygen, guides the wine towards depth, balance and natural development.
