WINE DESCRIPTION
Maximin Grünhaus Maximin Grünhäuser Herrenberg Riesling Auslese is made from grapes that are sourced from the Grosse Lage vineyard, which is known for its steep slopes and mineral-rich soils. The winemaking process involves carefully selecting, late-harvested bunches, which are then fermented and aged in inert vessels to preserve the wine's natural flavors and aromas. The fermentation is halted prematurely to retain sweetness in the wine and help off-set the racy acidity.
