Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Von Schubert, Maximin Grunhauser, Alte Reben, Feinherb, 2018
Maturity:
Keep/Drink
ABV:
12.5%
90/100
David Schildknecht, Vinous

This year, there is an “Alte Reben” bottling – sourced overwhelmingly from the Abtsberg – that’s legally trocken, albeit with around eight grams of residual sugar. Much of the same snappy, bright lime, apple and white currant present in this year’s “Monopol” Riesling are also on display here, but with a greater sense of midpalate richness, even a hint of textural creaminess, in counterpoint with the zesty, tangy, crunchy fruit. Alcohol of 12.5% reinforces a sense of stuffing, yet the invigorating, refreshing finish evinces a delightful sense of lift to accompany its sheer penetration.

Von Schubert

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.
