Maximin Grünhauser Abtsberg, Grosses Gewächs, 2022
The Abtsberg is a great metaphor for fine German engineering; pristine and precise, one feels as if we’ve reached a new level of refinement. Steely with a delicate grip and cool, glistening, freshly washed herbs and a kick of slate spice, the only trace of the warmth of the year is felt in the most gorgeous burst of mirabelle and white peach on the full, clear-cut finish.
critic reviews
The 2022 Riesling Maximin Grünhäuser Abtsberg Grosses Gewächs opens with yellow plum on the nose, suffused with creaminess and lemon overtones. The palate has those same notions but tingles with lemon zest and citrus aromatics, vivid, pleasantly astringent and distinctly aromatic with pale, riper lemon nuances. Lovely and long, dry, citric and concentrated despite the light body. A picture of elegance. (Bone-dry)
