Weingut Maximin Grünhaus ranks among the great historic estates of the Ruwer and is inextricably linked with the famed Abtsberg, whose steep, south-facing slopes are shaped by grey and blue Devonian slate. This cool, mineral terroir bestows upon its Rieslings an unmistakable elegance, delicate fruit, and remarkable precision. The Abtsberg Riesling Kabinett Nr. 27 Versteigerungswein 2024 expresses this style in a particularly filigree yet profound manner, gaining additional composure and aging potential from the Methuselah format.

In the glass, the wine shows a pale straw yellow with greenish reflections. The nose is refined and multilayered, defined by green apple, white peach, and lemon zest, accompanied by floral notes and a cool, slate-driven minerality. The aromatics feel nimble and pure, with a translucent fruitiness that is quintessential Abtsberg.

On the palate, the Kabinett is weightless and precise. Its vibrant, finely etched acidity lends freshness and tension, while the delicate fruit sweetness is seamlessly integrated, ensuring poise and elegance. Yellow fruit, citrus, and a fine mineral salinity interlace harmoniously. The texture is filigree, almost dancing across the palate, leading to a long, clear finish marked by cool minerality.

The Abtsberg Riesling Kabinett Nr. 27 Versteigerungswein 2024 by Maximin Grünhaus is a classic, finely honed Kabinett of extraordinary lightness and depth. The Methuselah format grants it additional aging potential and underscores its ability to gain complexity, expression, and inner serenity over many years. A wine of great nobility that impressively reflects the terroir of the Abtsberg.
