    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Von Schubert, Maximin Grünhauser Abtsberg, Riesling, Superior, 2019

    A breezy wild ferment note blows off to reveal a little more sunshine than the GG, a touch of pollen, day lily and succulent yellow fruit. Bright, crystalline and beautifully balanced. One of the best superiors we’ve encountered. As ever it’s not bone dry which merely serves to amplifying the fruit notes, giving the whole a backlit quality as pithy grapefruit, and sun dappled slate rise up on the long and persistent finish. Just one fuder was produced in 2019.

    Von Schubert

    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.
