Weingut

Das über 700 Jahre alte Stiftungsweingut Bürgerspital bewirtschaftet auf seinen 120 Hektar Silvaner, Müller-Thuragu und Riesling, die typischen Weine aus der Region Franken. Abgefüllt werden die edlen Tropfen in den traditionellen Bocksbeutel, welche Lagen wie die Monopollage Würzburger Stein-Harfe oder die VDP Erste Lage Würzburger Stein glänzen lässt.

Jahrgangsbericht

After a wet summer, frosts and hail the work in the vineyards was very intensive and everyone expected a normal harvest to start at the end of September. At the end of August, the weather changed and Bürgerspital had the third warmest September ever recorded. The harvest started on the 15th of September. The quality was perfect, the juice full of aroma and the quantity was better than expected.  The 2016 wines are showing off a ripe and rich flavor and less alcohol than the 2015. The red wines are superb. Generally, 2016 will be a pleasure to enjoy, with elegant fruit and good minerality.
