Maximin Grünhaus Herrenberg Riesling Spätlese

A gorgeously seductive, late-picked sweet Riesling from the red slate soil of the Grosse Lage Herrenberg vineyard.

The Herrenberg vineyard is contiguous with Abtsberg, but here the soil turns from blue slate to red. It is also a bit less steep, so it has deeper topsoil that retains more water, which ensures good vine health and is of great benefit in dry years. Herrenberg wines are typically more generous and precocious than those of Abtsberg, but are capable of equal longevity. Spätlese is made from later-picked grapes, which bring greater richness and flavor development to the wine.
