Weingut

Der älteste Weinkeller Würzburgs aus dem Jahr 1576 mit seinem 250 Meter langen Korridor ist bis heute das Herzstück der Weinproduktion im Juliusspital. In den großen Holzfässern, insgesamt 220, reifen Weine aus den wertvollsten Weinbergen Frankens.

Jahrgangsbericht

The year 2017 brought different challenges. The shoot started unbelievably early; and unfortunately, Juliusspital had damage due to late frost at the end of April. Heavy rainfall during the summer months saved the growth but then at the beginning of August a hailstorm badly hit the Würzburger Stein. The Juliusspital team experienced the earliest harvest ever in the Franconian region. The unstable weather conditions during harvest put a lot of pressure on our time management. But in the end, it paid off. They received all the qualities from juicy, brilliant and elegant to mineral, very structured and full-bodied in the cellar.
