MAXIMIN GRÜNHAUS HERRENBERG RIESLING AUSLESE VDP.GROSSE LAGE®

Growth: Ruwer. The Herrenberg Auslese offers a wonderfully fine and elegant, fruit-forward nose of ripe apricots and pineapple. This is complemented by notes of honey and roasted almonds. Despite its golden richness, the wine proves refreshing and stimulating due to its fine acidity structure. It shows a perfect balance between its creamy, ripe, and exotic fruit bouquet and juicy acidity. The vineyard: The site covers a total of 19 hectares. The part of the HERRENBERG adjacent to the ABTSBERG resembles it in many respects, with very similar soil composition and orientation. The rear part of the HERRENBERG is cooler, less steep, and is surrounded by the Grüneberg forest. Devonian slate, which appears reddish in the HERRENBERG, also dominates here. In the past, the wines from this site were somewhat in the shadow of the ABTSBERG wines. However, due to changing climatic conditions, the Rieslings from both sites are now equal in quality. The wines of the HERRENBERG also possess extraordinary aging potential and can mature for decades.
