The Furst wines are produced in Kaysersburg in the middle of the region’s wine belt. The first vines were brought to the area in the 16th century making it one of the highest quality growing areas in that part of the country. The grapes are grown in small, individual vineyards which are then given to one wine maker resulting in products focused on quality and consistency.
