Producer Description

Maximin Grünhaus is a world-class Riesling specialist, based in the Ruwer district of the Mosel, with a viticulture history dating back to the Roman era. Located on steep, south-facing slopes, the estates celebrated vineyards are divided into three separate, but contiguous plots: ‘Abtsberg’, ‘Herrenberg’, and ‘Bruderberg’. Each has its own distinct microclimate, aspect and soil that lends itself to singular Riesling expressions.

The estate takes its current name from the Abbey of Saint Maximin, a Benedictine monastery which owned the land from the 7th to the 18th century. Passing first to the French administration under Napoleon, then to the von Schubert family in the late 19th century.
