The Rudolf Fürst R Chardonnay from Franken, Germany, is the estate’s top Chardonnay bottling, demonstrating a dedication to Burgundian-style winemaking from German terroir. Sourced from vines grown on loess and sandstone soils, this wine is fermented and matured in small wooden barrels. The 2017 vintage exhibits an elegant maturation in oak, offering wonderfully expressive aromas of peach and lemon, rounded off by a prominent minerality. It is presented in a perfectly dry style, showcasing a light texture and considerable reverberation on the finish, built for extended cellaring.

From Astheim but from the oldest plot that was planted about 20 years ago with Burgundy genetics , the 2019 Chardonnay >R< offers a deep, ripe and pure but complex nose of perfectly ripe fruits and crushed stones. On the palate, this is a silky, refined and elegant, aromatic and juicy, finely tannic and persistently salty Chardonnay that was crushed in the harvest box by foot. The wine was fermented with more trub than the Riesling yet with no maceration time to enhance finesse and mineral expression. Aged for one year in oak and then for another six months in stainless steel prior to the bottling. - Stephan Reinhardt
