This single vineyard shares many characteristics with the famous neighbouring Abtsberg site, including the south-east to south-west orientation and the Devonian slate soils, here with a slight reddish hue, that produce wines with extra texture and richness. Toward the rear, Herrenberg is enclosed by the Grüneberg forest and is traditionally viewed as a cooler and slightly flatter site. However, with the recent shifting climate, Herrenberg is now capable of producing fully ripe Riesling and Pinot Blanc grapes resulting in wines that have achieved distinction in their own right and that will age beautifully over decades.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eMade in the Kabinett style, the grapes were harvested earlier in the season than the Spätlese to create a lighter and more delicate style of Riesling. The fruit was harvested by hand in several stages to capture the correct level of ripeness across the vintage. The proximity of the cellar to the vineyard ensures a quick pressing after harvest to retain the wine’s aromatics and freshness. After a careful pressing in a pneumatic press, the must from the grapes was fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel, with fermentation stopped by chilling to retain the desired levels of residual sugar in the finished wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLocated on steep, south-facing slopes two kilometres from where the river Ruwer meets the Mosel, the estate of Maximin Grünhaus has a history of viticulture that dates back to Roman times. It takes its name from the Abbey of Saint Maximin, a Benedictine monastery which owned the land from the 7th to the 18th century. Passing into French administration under Napoleon and then eventually to the von Schubert family in the late 19th century, the estate is now overseen by sixth-generation family member Maximin Von Schubert, who took over from his father Carl Von Schubert in 2014.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"London End Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64579160801657,"sku":"105102423","price":32.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/5405\/2509\/files\/MaximinGrunhausSingleVineyardHerrenbergGrosseLageMoselRieslingKabinett.png?v=1789458689","url":"https:\/\/www.londonendwines.com\/products\/maximin-grunhaus-single-vineyard-herrenberg-grosse-lage-mosel-riesling-kabinett-2023","provider":"London End Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
