An altogether more complex stony slate-dominated Auslese, with a top note of bergamot and fresh rose. The palate is constrained by a sense of tension, a structural corset which strains to contain the elements within. Lightly honeyed, crisp, just ripe nectarine and lime leaf, complex salty stony notes, with magnificent freshness on the finish. In 20 years’ time this is going to be a truly showstopping. No botrytis made it into the blend, just very pure, ripe golden shrivelled fruit.
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.
