Abtsberg Riesling Spätlese - Weingut Maximin Grünhaus

Abtsberg Riesling Spätlese - Weingut Maximin GrünhausThe Abtsberg Riesling Spätlese matured in cask from the Mosel wine-growing region reveals itself in the glass in a brilliantly shimmering light yellow. When swirling the wine glass, this white wine is characterized by a magnificent lightness that makes it dance lively in the glass. The nose of this Mosel white wine charms with aromas of ripe apple, elderberry and rose. Following the aromas further, thyme and mint/lemon balm are added. The Abtsberg Riesling Spätlese can rightly be described as particularly fruit-driven and velvety, as it has been vinified with a wonderfully sweet flavor profile. On the finish, this youthful white wine from the Mosel region finally delights with a lovely length. Once again, hints of elderberry and rose appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the slate-dominated soils are added. Vinification of the Abtsberg Riesling Spätlese from Weingut Maximin Grünhaus The basis for the elegant Abtsberg Riesling Spätlese from Germany is grapes from the Riesling variety. On the Mosel, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on slate soils. After the grape harvest, the grapes are brought to the winery immediately. There they are sorted and gently broken up. Fermentation then takes place in large wooden and stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After the end of fermentation, the light-footed Abtsberg Riesling Spätlese is matured for a few more months in 1000-liter “Fuder” casks made of oak. Food recommendation for the Abtsberg Riesling Spätlese from Weingut Maximin Grünhaus This German wine works perfectly as a wine with a wide variety of dishes, but is also a pleasure enjoyed on its own.
