The 2005 Maximin Grunhauser Herrenberg Riesling Beerenauslese smells and tastes of nectarine, grapefruit, and red currant jelly. Bright lemon-lime acidity and honeyed richness set up an intriguing tension on the palate and the finish is formidably – indeed almost blazingly and almost stridently – concentrated, if not exactly enveloping or enticing. There is little question that this has exceptional potential and might relax sufficiently even in the short term to become more winesome. Certainly, though, the long term for this wine has to be measured in several decades.

Country: Germany

Much has changed over the past few decades in regards to German wine. Long gone are the days of mass produced, sickly sweet white wines which were once the chief exports of this fascinating and ancient wine producing country, and they have been replaced with something far more sophisticated. Whilst Germany continues to produce a relatively large amount of dessert wine, the wineries of the south of the country have reverted their attention to the production of drier, more elegant wines which really make the most of the fine grape varieties which flourish there. Many of the wineries dealing primarily with the excellent Riesling grapes have produced some truly exceptional dry and semi-sweet wines over the past few years, and it seems the world has finally woken up and noticed the extremely high quality of the distinctive produce coming out of Germany today.
