Tasting Note
Fürst Hundsrück Spätburgunder GG 2020 is refined, aromatic, and breathtakingly detailed. Notes of wild strawberry, red cherry, pomegranate, and rose petal lift from the glass, supported by hints of crushed herbs, subtle spice, and cool stony minerality. The palate is precise and textural, showing ultra-fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and layered red-fruit purity. Long, elegant, and quietly powerful, it finishes with remarkable finesse—Burgundian in spirit, yet unmistakably Franconian in identity.
