2018 | Maximin Grünhaus | Herrenberg Riesling Kabinett

Very hoppy on the nose, with jasmine and saffron notes extending on the palate, followed by a richly spiced core of peach and persimmon flavors. Hints of cream and tangerine zest emerge, revealing a bit of grip toward the finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: From predominantly raisined rather than botrytized grapes, the 2018 Maximin Grünhaus Herrenberg Riesling Kabinett is lush, salty-piquant, quite generous and sweet yet also pure and enormously fresh and salty. Bottled with 8.8 grams per liter of acidity and concentrated fruit, this is terribly young but very promising.

• James Suckling: Very attractive aromas of limes, fresh wild herbs and slate. All nicely played, very fresh and fragrant. The palate has a very smooth delivery of fine, sweet limes and honey and white peaches to close. Neatly balanced.

Producer Information

Maximin Grünhaus is a German wine producer located in the Ruwer district of Mosel. It is best known for its famous monopole vineyard, the Maximin Grünhaus estate. Fifth-generation family member Dr. Carl von Schubert has managed the estate since 1981. The first documented evidence of the Maximin Grünhaus vineyards dates to 966, when the land was given to the Benedictine monastery of St. Maximin in Trier. Various winemaking artifacts from Roman times including pruning knives and amphora have been discovered here. The three sites that compose Maximin Grünhaus – Abtsberg, Herrenberg and Bruderberg – have distinct micro-climates, gradients, soil compositions and classifications, from the smallest and lesser of the sites, Bruderberg, to the equivalent of a Grosse Lage, Abtsberg. Riesling makes up over 90 percent of the total vineyard plantings followed by Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois and Spätburgunder. The estate produces some 15,000 cases of wine annually, including Kabinett, Spätlese, Auslese, Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese and Eiswein from its three vineyards, as well as some Spätburgunder, Pinot Blanc and Sekt wines.
