Herrenberg Riesling Superior QW Mosel 0.75L

The Herrenberg Riesling Superior from Maximin Grünhaus comes from one of the most well-known single vineyards in the Ruwer valley — a tributary of the Mosel, known for its cool nights and delicate Rieslings. The Maximin Grünhaus estate, traceable back to the 9th century and currently owned by the von Schubert family, is one of the most traditional addresses along the Mosel, Saar, and Ruwer rivers. The Herrenberg vineyard is located below the famous Abtsberg on weathered Devonian slate — a soil that stores heat and gives the Riesling its characteristic minerality.

In the glass, it reveals an off-dry style with ripe yellow fruit: apricot, mirabelle plum, and a hint of white peach. Behind this lies a fresh, well-integrated acidity that keeps the wine lively without being sharp. The finish is medium-long, slightly spicy with a fine slate note.

Off-dry here means residual sugar that is completely balanced by the acidity — not a dessert wine, but a food companion with backbone. Good with spicy Asian cuisine, pan-fried zander with buttered vegetables, or strong Munster cheese. Serving temperature: 8–10 °C.
