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

As in many Old World countries, the rise of viticulture in Germany came about as a result of the Roman Empire, who saw the potential for vine cultivation in the vast flatlands around the base of the Rhine valley. Indeed, for over a thousand years, Germany's wine production levels were enormous, with much of the south of the country being used more or less exclusively for growing grapes. Over time, this diminished to make way for expanding cities and other types of industries, but Southern Germany remains very much an important wine region within Europe, with many beautifully balanced and flavorful German wines being prized by locals and international wine lovers alike. The hills around Baden-Baden and Mannheim are especially noteworthy, as these produce the high end of the characteristic semi-sweet white wines which couple so perfectly with German cheeses and pickled vegetables. However, all of Germany's wine producing regions have something special and unique to offer, and are a joy to explore and experience.
