Maximin Grunhauser Riesling Abstberg Grosses Gewachs

Grunhaus is relatively new to GG production, having only joined the VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter) in 2015. They make two GGs - Herrenberg and Abstberg. Abtsberg reigns supreme, derived from deep blue slate soils. It exhibits telltale aromas and flavors of white peach, apricot, spring flowers and green herbs. A thrilling streak of citrusy acidity wakes up the palate and reveals the deep mineral and herbal facets of this extraordinary complex Riesling. There is no lack of fruit - the peach, apple and mango shine throughout - but it’s the haunting earthiness and filigreed detail of this wine that makes it unforgettable.
