Escherndorf is a winegrowing Village to the west of Franken/volkach">Volkach in Franken, Germany. Winemaking and viticulture has existed in the area for more than 1000 years.
The village comprises two key concave-shaped Vineyards: Fürtsenberg and Lump. Escherndorfer Lump, located to the northeast of the village, is the top site due to its predominantly south-facing exposures.
Silvaner and Riesling vines are planted on clay and limestone slopes, some of which extend down into local properties.
A unique microclimate for viticulture is created in Escherndorf by steep hillsides that follow the arc of the Main river below. This natural amphitheater provides optimal grape-growing conditions, as it protects the vines from the cold northerly and easterly winds while also acting as a suntrap.
Escherndorf Am Lumpen 1655 forms a small section of the larger Lump vineyard and is classified as Grosse Lage by the VDP.
This vineyard also produces several expressions of Grosses Gewächs wines.
Clotilde Davenne, from the eponymous estate, mentions the cherry as a main characteristic of the Irancy appellation. She tells us about the Pinot Noir variety which reveals, in its northern location of Bourgogne, lots of freshness and fruitiness that gives the appellation a very special place among the wines of the region.
