Maximin Grünhauser Abtsberg, Grosses Gewächs, 2025
A seriously enticing, super-pure and almost featherlight nose, with gentle herbaceous notes alongside green apple skin, tea and lemon. Cooling and fresh on the palate, with chalky acidity running through lightly creamy lees and giving the wine a lovely interplay between texture and tension. Remarkably fine and composed, with none of the weight its concentration might suggest. Super elegant.
critic reviews
The 2025 Riesling Maximin Grünhäuser Abtsberg Grosses Gewächs for now holds back on the nose. The palate, however, shows its slate-driven sleekness right away. This is stone bathed in ripe Meyer lemon and mandarin, tingling and glistening with juicy citric freshness and aroma for now, but resting absolutely in stone, in solidity, in that beautiful timelessness of the slope. It gives us charm for now, but really is all about eternity. A wonderful wine with citric cut and such stony substance. (Bone-dry)
