Formerly Monopol, the Schloss Riesling Trocken is designed to be a very true expression of the Grünhaus style. Indeed, as far as Gutswein goes, this is a pretty electric example, offering up lovely clear crisp apple and slate sensations with fine herb aromas. Incredibly salty with great nerve and acidity. Elegant and precise and just 11.5% ABV (half a degree below 2018 and 2019). Aged in a combination of stainless steel and large traditional fuders.
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.
