Maximin Grunhaus von Schubert Abstberg Spatlese 2016 (750ML)

95 WA / 94 WE

#19 The Wine Enthusiast 100 of 2018

The 2016 Maximin Grünhaus Abtsberg Riesling Spätlese shows a pure, reductive and extremely flinty/crunchy bouquet with perfectly ripe but still crisp and healthy fruit. Lush, round and very elegant on the palate, this is a piquant, beautifully balanced and refined Spätlese with grace and finesse. A fabulous wine! Tasted March 2018. Stephan Reinhardt – The Wine Advocate

Vibrant acidity shines a spotlight on pristine yellow peach, pineapple and tangerine flavors of this ethereal spätlese. It's lusciously fruity yet spine tingling and spry. The finish is seemingly endless, silky and sweet. This is irresistible already, but it should continue to improve through 2027. - Wine Enthusiast
