“Smoky and mineral but not such marked reduction, allowing more sweet apricot fruit to emerge. The palate is rich and mouthwatering and it goes on and on with such a lovely fresh finish. Quite sweet but beautifully balanced.”
Located on steep, south-facing slopes, two kilometres from where the Ruwer River meets the Mosel, the estate of Maximin Grünhaus has a viticulture history dating back to the Roman era. It takes its current name from the Abbey of Saint Maximin, a Benedictine monastery which owned the land from the 7th to the 18th century. Passing first to the French administration under Napoleon, then to the von Schubert family in the late 19th century, the estate is now overseen by the family’s sixth-generation, Maximin Von Schubert, who took over from his father Carl in 2014.
