Maximin Grünhauser Herrenberg, Riesling, Auslese, 2018
Rather closed on the nose, but the palate explodes with juicy, fine lemon fruits, this is mouthwatering and racy though does not lack any density or ripeness of fruit, a refreshing, beautifully poised wine with an envigorating touch of spritz on the finish.
critic reviews
Quince and apple jellies, mingled with Chartreuse-like herbal and floral essences on the nose, transform on the palate into delicate, creamy chiffon (very much as takes place in the corresponding Abtsberg). Delicacy, though, by no means precludes richness, and the soothingly sustained finish delivers an uncanny combination of sumptuousness with buoyancy.
The 2018 Maximin Grunhaus Herrenberg Riesling Auslese displays an elegant and clear nose of deep and flinty notes well-intertwined with delicate, ripe fruit aromas. Lush and crystalline on the palate, with stimulatingly piquant, grippy and beautifully juicy texture, this is a mouth-filling, lush and sweet Auslese with mouthwatering salinity on the crunchy finish. Gorgeous. Tasted from AP 24 19 in June 2019.
