2019 Mosel Pinot Noir Maximin Grünhaus
£54.00
“It’s hard to believe that this pinot noir is from the Mosel, because of the spot-on ripeness of the cherry fruit, the subtle rooty character and the silkiness of the tannins. Beautifully integrated oak. Already delicious, but surely has many years ahead of it”

Product Description
Located on steep, south-facing slopes, two kilometres from where the Ruwer River meets the Mosel, the estate of Maximin Grünhaus has a viticulture history dating back to the Roman era. It 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, the estate is now overseen by the family’s sixth-generation, Maximin Von Schubert, who took over from his father Carl in 2014.
A concentrated yet elegantly refined Pinot Noir grown in the blue slate soils of the Grosses Gewächs (grand cru) Abtsberg vineyard.
