von Othegraven "MAX" Riesling Qualitätswein trocken

The "MAX" is the entry-level Riesling from Othegraven – uncomplicated, easy-drinking, yet with the typical Saar signature: clear fruit, lively acidity, mineral tension.

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

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