Maximin Grunhaus - 2022 - Abtsberg Spätlese Riesling - 750 ml.

Maximin Grünhäuser Abtsberg Spätlese Riesling is a single‑vineyard expression from the storied Abtsberg site in Germany’s Mosel. Bottled in 750 ml format, this Spätlese captures the classic duality that makes Mosel Riesling so compelling: pronounced ripeness of stone and orchard fruit balanced by a crystalline, slatey minerality and a bright, mouthwatering backbone of acidity. The Abtsberg site contributes focused mineral energy that lifts the fruit and gives the wine a shimmering, linear finish. This Riesling is an ideal choice for drinkers seeking a refined, medium‑sweet to off‑dry style (as typical of Spätlese) that still offers food-friendly acidity rather than cloying sweetness. On the nose expect ripe peach, white peach, pear and apricot framed by subtle citrus peel and a slatey stoniness. The palate delivers concentrated fruit flavors with incisive acidity that keeps the wine lively and precise. Its texture is polished rather than heavy, making it versatile at the table. Pair it with spicy Asian dishes, roasted pork, soft cheeses and fruit‑based desserts to highlight its interplay of sweetness, acidity and mineral drive. For collectors and enthusiasts, the wine offers drinking pleasure now while also benefiting from cellar time that will harmonize its elements and deepen tertiary complexity over several years.
