Riesling Spätlese Abtsberg Mosel 2023 - 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 14-hectare Abtsberg is the most renowned location of the winery. Its subsoil consists mainly of bluish Devonian slate. The round top rotates from southeast to southwest and has a slope of up to 75%! The continuous area of Abtsberg closes off to the west and forms a smooth transition to Herrenberg. The soil here tends to be flatter and more skeletal than in Herrenberg, which is reflected in the distinctive minerality of the wines. The wines from this 14-hectare site are among the longest-lasting in the world. The late harvest is harvested from fully ripe grapes after the main harvest. The wine is lean, precise with slight residual sweetness and delicately fruity with enormous depth of flavor. Great storage potential.
