“The 2019 Maximin Grünhaus Riesling Abtsberg Spätlese is fresh and stony on the nose—almost greenish—and, in any case, terribly pure, fresh and precise, with flinty notes of crushed stones and also perfectly ripe tropical fruit aromas that come out with a bit of aeration. Mouthfillingly round and generous but also precise, fresh and finessed on the palate, this is a picture-book Spätlese that has more of a creamy texture than the more-crystalline Herrenberg Kabinett. The finish is concentrated and juicy, very aromatic and piquant. Tasted as a sample in April 2020. Drink: 2025-2050. 93-94 points
Form what I have tasted so far from Maximin Grünhaus, 2019 is another stellar vintage for the traditional domain in the Ruwer. To sum up my following notes: You can hardly buy any better Kabinett Rieslings from the 2019 vintage than those from von Schubert. The Kabinett selections from the Abtsberg are world-class wines that do not stop singing. I also want to underline that the Superiore is still an underestimated word-class Riesling as the 2019 vintage demonstrates again massively. Last but not least, von Schubert is more and more becoming one of the region’s best producers of both Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir. The 2018s show great quality, and as soon as it turns autumn again, these wines shall pair with my game dishes. 2018 has also been the vintage for Maximin von Schubert’s first orange wine: Mash. It is a wine you should taste, if you are open for something completely different.”
