2018 Maximin Grünhaus BRUDERBERG Riesling Grosses Gewächs Q.b.A. trocken Versteigerung

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: From vines planted in 1961 (two-thirds) and 2003 (one-third), the 2018 Maximin Grünhaus Bruderberg Riesling Trocken GG is super clear, intense and complex on the leafy/herbal and yeasty-scented nose that indicates a great purity. Lush and generous on the palate, this is a tight, complex and persistently salty Grosses Gewächs with herbal rather than fruity notes on the finish. The very first Bruderberg GG in history combines purity and salinity with mineral grip, tension and remarkable complexity. A fascinating, highly recommended terroir wine. The 2018 will be released in September this year, while magnums will be sold in the auction in Trier in later September. Tasted in June 2019. - Stephan Reinhardt, Aug. 2019

Mosel Fine Wines: The 2018er Maximin Grünhäuser Bruderberg Riesling GG, as it is referred to on the consumer label, will be sold in magnums at the Auction (the same wine is sold via regular channels in 75cl bottle). It offers an attractively aromatic nose made of spices, smoke, pear, grapefruit, rose and anise. Earthy spices mingle with candied fruits on the elegantly light and refined palate. The finish is light and still slightly herbal. 2022-2028. - Aug. 2019
