WINE DESCRIPTION
Maximin Grünhaus Abtsberg Superior is harvested from low-yielding old Riesling vines in the best parts of the Abtsberg vineyard. The name “Superior” is a reference to the estate’s monastic history, as in “Father Superior.” Grapes are harvested before being pressed and fermented in inert vessels at cool temperatures to retain purity of fruit and delicacy of aromas. The fermentation is halted prematurely to retain some sweetness that perfectly balances the racy acidity.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Maximin Grünhaus Abtsberg Superior Riesling is an off-dry, aromatic white wine.The nose is delicate, revealing well-defined aromas of citrus peel, peach and white flowers combined with slate-like minerality. The palate is well-balanced between the racy acidity and hint of sweetness. The wine is finely poised and shows a high level of elegance and purity. The finish is persistent and detailed, marked by smoky notes and an underlying minerality that brings depth to the wine.
