Maximin Grünhäuser 2009 Herrenberg Eiswein Riesling (Mosel)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $228

Von Schubert bottled two eisweins from the Herrenberg in 2009. This one is pale in color, with intense pineapple and honey flavors. The wine is sweet, luscious and viscous yet never cloying, with a long finish that features unfolding layers of fruit flavor. — J.C. (3/1/2012)

Maximin Grünhäuser 2003 Abtsberg Beerenauslese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)

Price $167

Heavily botrytized, this thick, unctuous wine virtually oozes with dried apricots and spiced applesauce aromas and flavors. So much going on it’s hard to adequately describe, with a long, sticky finish. — J.C. (12/15/2004)

Maximin Grünhäuser 2005 Abstberg Beerenauslese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)

Cellar Selection

Price $177

A stunningly rich yet balanced dessert wine, this beauty starts with hints of paraffin and almonds, then unleashes waves of sweet dried-apricot and orange-marmalade flavors. Despite the intense, honeyed sweetness, there’s enough lime-like acidity to prevent it from being cloying. This tour de force should age effortlessly for 40 or more years. — J.C. (10/1/2007)

Maximin Grünhäuser 2008 Herrenberg Eiswein 375 ml Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)

Online Exclusive

Price $50

Shows lovely balance between intense sweetness and crisp acidity, so that the wine’s honeyed citrus notes really sing. Hints of marmalade, clove and a perfumed, slightly minty note all add complexity. Delicious now, and probably for a good many years to come. — J.C. (3/1/2011)

Maximin Grünhäuser 2009 Herrenberg Eiswein 82 Riesling (Mosel)

Online Exclusive

Price $316

Dark, almost russet in color, this is an eiswein that’s definitely out of the ordinary, with notes of fusty library, walnut, dried apricots and figs that come across as a bit syrupy in texture. It seems a bit advanced compared to other eisweins, but it will likely remain at this plateau for decades. — J.C. (3/1/2012)

Maximin Grünhäuser 2007 Herrenberg Eiswein Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $171

If you're seeking laser-like focus in your eiswein, this is the bottling for you. Although it starts off musky and feral, it's also ultracrisp and racy, with intense pineapple fruit surrounded by hints of wild meat and spice, then finishing with blazingly pure citrus. — J.C. (4/1/2010)

Maximin Grünhäuser 2006 Abtsberg Beerenauslese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)

Price $204

For a beerenauslese, usually dominated by honeyed fruit, this shows a surprising degree of stony minerality, which helps to balance the rich, sweet flavors of orange marmalade, dried apricots and honey. Viscous in texture, yet the citrus and mineral notes keep it from becoming cloying. Drink now–2035. — J.C. (12/15/2007)

Maximin Grünhäuser 2004 Abstberg Beerenauslese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)

Price $167

A dramatic contrast to the sticky-sweet nature of the 2003 Abstberg BA, this vintage boasts piercing, mouthwatering acids to balance the superripe pineapple flavors. If wines age on their acidity, this one will last a good, long time. Imported by Valckenberg International, Inc. — J.C. (2/1/2006)
