Tasting notes
The 2015 Maximin Grünhäuser Abtsberg Riesling Auslese is very clear and intense yet fine and delicate in its fine Riesling and slate aromas on the nose. Lush and piquant on the palate, this is a light and salty Auslese with a good, filigreed structure, nice grip and tension and stimulating salinity in the finish.

Fresh raisins, butterscotch, waxy honey and a fascinating diversity of fruit titillate the olfactory perception. On the palate, citrus and passion fruit literally ooze their sweet juices, but despite the rich texture induced by botrytis, the Abtsberg Auslese remains focused on freshness with cracking acidity and some crunchy green notes. Generous in flavour, elegant in its execution, a noble, sweet highlight of 2015. (MS)
