Classification of Bürgerspital wines according to production criterions of VDPexterner Link (not settled by the German wine law):

Great Wines
Great Growths or "Grand Cru" (Grosse Gewächse) from top sites (Erste Lagen) and Premium Wines represent our finest segment. The high class packaging reflects the high quality of these wines.
Great Growths: They are recognizable by their logo, which was created for this exceptional level of quality. There are several regulations around the production of these dry "Grand crus" that guarantee the superior quality – such as limited yields and harvesting by hand at the time of optimal ripeness. Finally these wines undergo a very strict examination conducted by VDP.
Red Premium Wines: Our premium reds are vinificated from individually selected grapes of highest quality and matured in small oak barrels.
Sweet Premium Wines: Wines displaying very distinctive aromas with complex structures and long-lasting aftertaste.

Site Wines
Site Wines from VDP-classified sites are the core of our range and include Qualitätswein, Kabinett and Spätlese from classified sites and grapes. The vineyard, the attentive labour of the vintners and the sensitivity of the cellar master shape the wines and give them the typical Franconian distinct and unique character. Our site wines are bottled in classical antique-green "Bocksbeutel" with the coat of arms on the shoulder. The style ranges from dry to off-dry, allowing customers to find their favourite wine.

Estate Wines (Local Selections)
Estate Wines are light, elegant, lively as well as fresh, fruity and crisp with a distinctive character. According to international standard we provide basic information but do not state the actual provenance of the wine. They are easy-drinking day-to-day wines for every occasion.
