Maximin Grünhaus; Abtsberg Riesling Spätlese; 2018; 5 (1 x 5); 750ml

Maximin Grünhaus, on the little Ruwer tributary, has a winegrowing history reaching back to Roman times and was monastery land for a thousand years. The von Schubert family's three monopole slopes – Abtsberg, Herrenberg and Bruderberg, named for the abbot, the lords and the brothers of the old abbey – give some of Germany's most refined, ageworthy Riesling. The Abtsberg, the abbot's slope, is the jewel of the three. 2018 was a warm, ripe German vintage. Stephan Reinhardt from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gave it a rating of 95, Wine Spectator gave it 93, David Schildknecht from Vinous gave it 91, and Julia Harding MW gave it 16.5 out of 20.
