On the left bank of the Ruwer river, Maximin Grünhaus is known for its three contiguous monopole sites, Abtsberg, Herrenberg and Bruderberg, where winemaking activities can be traced back to Roman times. The 14ha Abtsberg is the estate’s most famed site, featuring blue Devonian slate bedrock and an extremely steep south-facing slope. This was traditionally fermented using wild yeast, partially in 1,000L Fuder casks, and matured in oak. Caro Maurer MW: Young, floral, fresh, almost innocent, with hints of mint and elderflower. Dry and serious, relies entirely on the natural substance for expression. Slender body with ripe, well-integrated acidity. MD Elegantly styled, with pressed flowers, white fruits and gentle citrus; discreet but with concentration, too. Long, shimmering succulent finish; there’s a beautiful cut to the wine without austerity. Stefan Neumann MS: Yuzu and orange peel aromas, with a nice mineral backbone. Good intensity and drive with plenty of pear, apple and quince undertones. This has great density and structure. ... More details

Rated 94 by James Suckling
Tightly structured and very focused, this stunning riesling Kabinett is brimming with white peach fruit, plus a slew of mint and basil freshness. Extreme wet stone minerality on the pristine palate where there’s a raciness that could waken the dead. Enormous aging potential. Drink or hold.

green grapes

Varietal: Riesling

Riesling grapes are very rarely blended with others in the development of wines, and for good reason. These pale grapes which originated in the cool Rhine Valley of Germany are notable for their 'transparency' of flavor, which allows the characteristics of their terroir to shine through in wonderful ways. The result of this is a wine which carries a wide range of interesting flavors quite unlike those found in other white wines, finished off with the distinctively floral perfume Riesling supplies so well. Many wineries in Germany and elsewhere tend to harvest their Riesling grapes very late – often as late as January – in order to make the most of their natural sweetness. Other methods, such as encouraging the noble rot fungus, help the Riesling grape varietal present some truly unique and exciting flavors in the glass, and the variety of wines this varietal can produce mean it is one of the finest and most interesting available anywhere.

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.
