"Very pure-tasting, with an intense raciness to the peach, apple and green pear flavors. The creamy finish is long and fruity. Drink now through 2025."

"This is more fruit-driven than the Abtsberg at the moment, showing supple, harmonious notes of apricot and white peach. It's fragrant and clean, with an elegantly balanced structure."

2010 Maximin Grünhäuser Herrenberg Riesling Kabinett
Maximin Grunhaus

The delicate Kabinett style from the special terroir of Herrenberg. Herrenberg:
Wines from this vineyard were made specially for the Abbey’s Choirmasters. Extending over 19 hectares, the site benefits from deep soils with good water retention, over a base of red Devonian slate. Wines from the Herrenberg show fruit and body early in their lives, but also possess extraordinary ageing potential.

Herrenberg is the generally considered to be the second best site at Grünhaus, after Abtsberg. It is based more on red slate and has deeper topsoil that retains more water, which can be of great benefit in dry years. The wines of Herren berg are more generous and tend to open up sooner than those of Abtsberg, but are capable of equal longevity. This wine is a selection of barrels that exhibit the delicate Kabinett style, but also show the distinctive stone fruit flavors and red slate minerality that are typical expressions of this vineyard’s terroir.
