Maximin Grunhauser Herrenberg Kabinett, Maximin Grünhaus - Weingut der Familie von Schubert 2016

Tasting Notes

Harvested at 82° Oechsle, this Kabinett is a little jewel in the making. Despite still being somewhat focused and restrained at this stage, the wine already reveals a show-stopping nose of cassis, minty herbs and smoky slate which reminds us immediately to the great wines from the 1990s. It proves superbly balanced on the palate and leaves a delicately light-weighted feel in the grapefruit-infused and still rather racy and slightly sharp finish. Make no mistake, most great fruity Maximin Grünhaus wines have started life along these lines. This is a textbook Kabinett in the making! 2026-2041

Complex nose of peach, mango chutney and fresh herbs. At once succulent and vibrant, this is a very beautiful Kabinett that is hard to resist (at least if you like white wines with bright fruit aromas). Staggering vitality at the very long crystalline finish. Drink or hold.
