2019 Maximin Grünhäuser Bruderberg Riesling Kabinett

Mosel Fine Wines: The 2019er Maximin Grünhäuser Bruderberg Riesling Kabinett was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar. This bright-yellow colored wine offers a seemingly inviting but actually still rather reduced nose made of mirabelle, lemon, wet stone, floral elements, and smoky slate (the wine takes two days to reveal its flavors at this stage). But then, this wine develops a gorgeously playful side on the mouthwatering palate, and leaves a stunning feel of cassis, minty herbs, apricot blossom, and minerals in the long and lingering finish. A hint of cream adds Schmelz and a flair of Spätlese to the great lemon and grapefruit-infused tension in the after-taste. This huge success may well prove the finest light fruity-styled wine we have ever tasted from this vineyard! 2029-2049. - Mai 2020
