"What a great collection of 2022s Sebastian and Paul Fürst have managed to create! The reds—all Pinot Noirs—are, from the first (Tradition!) to the last (Hundsrück Grosses Gewächs), the finest and best I have tasted in Germany in 25 years."
- Stephan Reinhardt, Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate

"The 2022 Spätburgunder Tradition is predominantly from old vines from below the Centgrafenberg and younger vines from the Centgrafenberg and Hundsrück "grands crus." The wine opens with a beautiful, intensely fruity bouquet of perfectly ripe cherries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries and licorice nuances that intermingle with the classic red sandstone freshness and spiciness as well as sur lie and toasty aromas. Aged on the lees for nearly 17 months (in matured pièces) and bottled in early February this year, this is a dense, intense and spicy, beautifully aromatic and persistent Pinot with remarkably fine and spicy tannins. It is gorgeous, well structured, clear and fresh but also intense and fruity with class and style. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024."

"Medium ruby in the glass. Raspberry, cranberry, sour cherry and a hint of allspice on the nose. Intense on the palate, yet highly elegant. The good, ripe fruit is complemented by a lively acidity and plenty of structure in the glass. Cool and drinkable. Attractive finish. A great estate wine for immediate enjoyment."
