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

The hot and long summer left its mark, not seen since 2003. 2018 will be remembered for lots of sunshine, warm nights and very light rainfall. The successful results started in the vineyards, with good soil work and canopy management. We began to pick young vines on August 21st with the rest beginning August 26th. Due to the early harvest the grapes were picked in ripe condition and the wines are fresh with good to moderate alcohol levels and fine aromatic flavors, average quality and volumes.
