Maximin Grünhauser, Herrenberg, Superior, Feinherb, 2024
Lovely detail and lift, less earthbound, spicy with a nice balance of salts and citrus fruits – crispy on the finish. The “Superior” Feinherbs benefit from the same selection and handling as the GGs but are allowed to ferment to a natural stop. Being just off-dry (18g residual sugar in 2024), they make for wonderful food partners. A total of 1330 bottles were produced.
critic reviews
The 2024 Riesling Maximin Grünhäuser Herrenberg Superior was made to GG level but is not legally dry enough. Only 500 liters of this Riesling were made this year, all in stainless steel. It opens with wet slate and a touch of deadnettle and lemon. The palate is beautifully taut, fine, stony, graceful and light. A vivid brightness and freshness illuminate every pore of that zestiness. This may not be legally dry, but it certainly does not come across as off-dry. (Dry)
