Herrenberg Riesling trocken Grosses Gewächs 2021 - Maximin Grünhaus

The first documentary mentions of the Maximin Grünhaus winery date back to February 966. Since 1882, the von Schubert family has cultivated the vineyards beautifully situated on a range of hills near the Moselle and Ruwer rivers. The wines belong to Germany's wine Olympus. They unmistakably represent their origins and come exclusively from the Maximin Grünhaus monopolies Abtsberg, Herrenberg and Bruderberg. The Herrenberg location covers a total of 19 hectares and is similar to the Abtsberg in many ways. The soil conditions and orientation are very similar; Devonian slate dominates. In the past, Herrenberg wines were somewhat overshadowed by Abtsberg wines. However, due to changing climatic conditions, the Rieslings of the two sites are in no way inferior in quality today. The large grapes represent the top of the dry wines and the Herrenberg also depicts terroir and typicity with absolute precision. Characterized by salty minerality and sparseness, the fruit stands in the background. Everything is designed for elegance, balance and finesse. Herrenberg wines are also extremely adaptable and can mature over decades.
