"The grand Juliusspital is by no means a sluggish ship that needs a kilometer-long braking distance before it can change course. Rather, even after hundreds of years of operation, the company has proven itself to be flexible and able to claim increasing quality. ...The wines were always on a great level, but you can feel the handwriting of their young oenologist Nicolas Frauer more and more. He doesn't want to be in the middle segment with large quantities. Instead, he is peering into Burgundy, and that skillfully. This becomes most obvious in the Weißburgunder from the Volkacher Karthäuser, with aromas of chamomile and fresh bread. Frauer has also left the typical angularity of the Steigerwald region to the Silvaners and added elegance. It is interesting to observe the changes in style that’s taking place in the Juliusspital. More risk - more exciting wines. The three grapes turn red with joy."
