2017 Maximin Grunhauser Herrenberg Spatlese

Kiwi, lime, white currant and honeydew melon on the nose anticipate an impression on the glossy palate that is at once lusciously ripe and brightly tingling. Sweetness is entirely supportive despite its analytically high level. The vibrantly and refreshingly sustained finish harnesses lime zest, kiwi seeds, nettle and apple seeds for a sense of invigoration. In musical terms, a very treble wine, though, for now at least, not one revealing of the depth, especially in a mineral dimension, of which Grünhaus Riesling Spätlese is famously capable.
