An evening with the latest generation of Germany’s greatest Pinot Noir winemaking family
The wines of Weingut Rudolf Fürst are renowned as some of the finest expressions of Pinot Noir (or Spätburgunder as it is there known) not just in Germany, but across the globe.
Winemaking has been part of the Fürst family history since 1638, and now Sebastian heads up the estate, being named Falstaff’s German Winemaker of the Year in the same year he took over.
We are delighted to welcome Sebastian to London for our first-ever dinner with the estate, offering the opportunity to explore wines that stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the very finest red Burgundy. With this in mind, we will pour an outstanding red Burgundy from our own cellars alongside, to demonstrate just how serious the Grosses Gewächs here are. Alongside Sebastian’s top Pinot Noirs, we will also be trying his delicious Astheimer Chardonnay, a brace of Rieslings six years apart, and his fascinating Frühburgunder.
The setting for the evening will be the much-lauded Marylebone restaurant Clarette, a mecca for wine lovers across London.
Places are limited to 12 guests
