Maximin Grünhaus Riesling Abtsberg Spätlese 2023

From Maximin Grünhaus’s celebrated Abtsberg vineyard, this Riesling Spätlese brings together the site’s steep, sunlit blue-slate slopes and the grape’s natural balance of ripe fruit and freshness. The estate has a long history on the Ruwer, and Abtsberg remains one of its most distinguished vineyard sites, prized for Rieslings with the capacity to mature over many years.

Tasting Notes
The tasting note supplied for this wine describes the 2020 vintage, rather than 2023, so it should be treated as an indication of the Abtsberg Spätlese style, not a vintage-specific assessment. That note suggests aromas of ripe yellow apple, citrus and delicate herbs, including thyme, verbena and lemon balm, with floral nuances on the palate. A finely integrated acidity balances the wine’s sweetness and helps preserve an elegant, fresh impression.

Production
Abtsberg is a steep, sun-exposed vineyard with slopes reaching up to 75% and soils of blue slate, conditions that contribute to the site’s distinctive Riesling character. Specific details about the 2023 harvest and winemaking are not available in the supplied information.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, around 8–10°C. The wine’s sweetness and acidity should work well with spicy Asian dishes, aromatic curries, pork, or blue cheese. Decanting is not usually necessary; allow the wine a little time in the glass to open, particularly if serving it young.

Producer
Maximin Grünhaus, also known as Weingut der Familie von Schubert, is a historic estate in the Ruwer, a tributary region of the Mosel. The von Schubert family has owned the estate since 1882.
