The Abstberg Auslese is the first wine in the range that displays, very faintly, an articulation of Botrytis just a whisper of apricot and dried apple overlaying pungent slate and stone notes. Seamless and long on the palate with tremendous clarity and layering to the detailed notes of wet slate and crisp honeyed citrus fruit. A wine dense with extract but also nimble and fresh.
This estate is centred on a former monastic Manor House at the foot of the Maximin Grünhaus hill close to a narrow tributary of the Mosel, the Ruwer. This towering hill is responsible for world famous wines of Carl von Schubert whose sensible attitude to vineyard management, careful selection and yield restriction result in classic examples of Ruwer style wines that are at bold, racy and mineral. Three of the region’s top vineyards are all situated on this hill. The Herrenberg occupies most of this,producing taut, mineral wines, whilst the other two comprise Bruderberg and Abstberg. In the monastic period the former provided the brothers’ tipple whilst the venerable, opulent Abstberg provided the extravagant imbibing requirements of the Abbotts.
