They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks…but whoever coined that adage clearly never met the wizards at Maximin Grunhaus.

The viticultural history at this famed Ruwer estate is old — we mean really, really, really old. By the time of Emperor Otto (successor of Charlemagne), their status as a winery had been documented. But even the von Schubert family was astounded when archaeologists discovered their building foundations were originally laid as part of a Roman road. This, coupled with Roman pruning shears and amphorae dug up in the vineyards, brings their wine history back another 500 years!!

Down in their ancient cellar, wines ferment spontaneously with only ambient yeast — a rarity in Germany these days. These native yeast strains are key: Maximin von Schubert attributes the wines’ singular flavor profile and incredible quality at least in part to the flavors they help develop.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 94
"The 2022 Riesling Maximin Grünhäuser Abtsberg Grosses Gewächs opens with yellow plum on the nose, suffused with creaminess and lemon overtones. The palate has those same notions but tingles with lemon zest and citrus aromatics, vivid, pleasantly astringent and distinctly aromatic with pale, riper lemon nuances. Lovely and long, dry, citric and concentrated despite the light body. A picture of elegance. (Bone-dry)" -Anne Krebiehl

"There is a slight fizz, even reduction to this white, yet with a beam of vibrant acidity keeping this upright and linear. An attractive dusty mineral element underneath the quince, apple and lemon flavors gives this hope. This needs more time to reveal all of its strengths. Best after 2027."
