Tasting notes
There's a wonderful combination of peach and flint in the nose of this masterpiece of delicacy. Very juicy first impression, but then the special, slate minerality comes through more and more, building to a crescendo at the finish. Drink or hold.

The 2019 Maximin Grünhaus Abtsberg Riesling Kabinett is pure, fresh and stony on the floral/herbal and even flinty-scented nose. On the palate, this is a concentrated yet fresh and piquant, tensioned and crystalline Abtsberg Kabinett with juicy fruit and remarkable elegance. It is rich and sweet for a Kabinett, but it's also so buoyant and vivaciously salty and pure. An impressive Kabibett that just needs a decade to fly. The 2019 was bottled with 77 grams of residual sugar and 8.2 grams per liter of total acidity. 7.5% alcohol. Persistently salty. Tasted from AP 08 20 in July 2020.
