von Othegraven "MAX" Riesling Qualitätswein trocken

The “MAX” is Othegraven’s entry-level Riesling – uncomplicated, easy to drink and yet with the typical Saar signature: clear fruit, lively acidity, mineral character.

The von Othegraven winery in Kanzem is one of the most prestigious addresses on the Saar. Since Karin ColleBacon joined the business in 2010, the focus has been consistently on quality – from the steep-slope Grands Crus to the more approachable "MAX", which serves as an entry point into the portfolio and showcases the grape variety directly.

In the glass, a pale straw yellow. The nose opens with aromas of preserved stone fruit – peach, ripe apricot – complemented by herbal spice and subtle mineral notes. On the palate, elegant stone fruit, a hint of melon, delicate vegetal spice, and a touch of licorice on the finish. The acidity is present and gives the wine vibrancy without being intrusive. Medium-long, minerally fresh finish.
