Furmint grape
Forgotten grape variety rediscovered
A visit to a Falstaff winner broadens the taste horizon, anticipating future trends at the highest level.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Burgenland's top winegrowers have long been in the spotlight on the international stage. First and foremost Hannes Schuster from the well-known Rosi Schuster winery in St. Margarethen. The wine luminary's exquisite wines reflect terroir and passion to the full. The focus is on St. Laurent and Blaufränkisch, Grüner Veltliner and Furmint. The latter variety stands out in particular.
Furmint renaissance
The Pannonian pioneer is thus making a significant contribution to a success story that is now starting all over again. First-class Furmint grapes thrive on four of the Schuster family's 20 hectares. "This grape variety played a major role in our region in the past, but has been forgotten since the late 19th century," explains Wein-Burgenland chairman Herbert Oschep. According to experts, the Furmint renaissance is right on trend.
"Burgenland is in it"
The entire vinophile portfolio is characterized by one thing in particular: "Burgenland is inside", to put it casually. Regardless of whether the wines come from Müllendorf, Donnerskirchen, St. Margarethen, Rust or Zagersdorf - they are not only down-to-earth, but also impress with their subtle perfection. Successes honor Hannes Schuster, but it is much more important to him to continue on his path unwaveringly: "The commitment to the Burgenland wine region has always been part of it."
Premiere for Oschep
Oschep was able to enjoy "a world premiere" during his flying visit: the new vintage of the Falstaff winner could be tasted as a barrel sample. Blaufränkisch St. Margarethen Ried Lamer 2023 - previously approved by mother Rosi - was poured into the glass of the Wein-Burgenland chairman. "Sensational!"
