2018 Grunhaus Maximin Riesling

As one of Germany's oldest wineries, the history of this iconic estate dates back to 966, when wines were mainly made for the nearby Monastery. Fast forward to today, fifth and sixth generation Carl von Schubert and his son Maximin are leading the estate carefully managing three of the most highly regarded Grand Cru vineyards in the region: Abtsberg, Bruderberg and Herrenberg.

Brilliant pale straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Aromas of red apples, pear, lime and hints of honeysuckle are followed by mandarin and spice. Texturally mouthfilling the palate is generously flavoured with ripe red apples, limes and honeysuckle over traces of orange and a flinty minerality. Finishes off dry with zippy acidity and a lengthy aftertaste.
