Staatlicher Hofkeller Wurzburg
About
The state cellar of Bavaria operates from the vaulted cellars beneath the Wurzburg Residenz — a UNESCO World Heritage palace — making it perhaps the most architecturally extraordinary wine estate in Germany. Records of winemaking on these sites date to 1128. The 120-hectare estate produces Silvaner, Riesling, and red varieties from Franken's finest slopes, including parcels in the legendary Wurzburger Stein.
