Abtsberg Riesling Auslese - Maximin Grünhaus

The barrel-aged Abtsberg Riesling Auslese from the Mosel wine-growing region appears in the glass in a brilliantly shimmering light yellow. Swiveling the glass, this white wine is characterized by a wonderful lightness that makes it dance lively in the glass. To the nose, this Maximin Grünhaus white wine presents all manner of plums, apples, plums, nashi pears and peaches.

On the palate, the texture of this light-bodied white wine is wonderfully crisp. Finally, on the finish, this storable white wine from the Mosel wine-growing region delights with beautiful length. Again, hints of apricot and quince appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the slate-dominated soils join in.

Vinification of the Abtsberg Riesling Auslese from Maximin Grünhaus

The elegant Abtsberg Riesling Auslese from Germany is a single-varietal wine, vinified from the Riesling grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions on the Mosel. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of slate. After the hand harvest, the grapes reach the winery by the fastest route. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. Then fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and large wood at controlled temperatures. After the end of fermentation, the Abtsberg Riesling Auslese is aged for several months in 1000 liter oak barrels.
