| Notes | "The 2016 Maximin Grünhaus Riesling "Monopol" has a clear, fresh and well-concentrated bouquet of ripe and spicy Riesling berries. Round, lush and piquant on the palate, this is a crystalline and elegant, really fine and salty-piquant Grünhäuser Riesling that was bottled with a touch of unfermented sugar but has a pretty dry and perfectly balanced taste. The 2016 was fermented with natural yeasts in stainless steel and old fuder vats." (Wine Advocate) | |||
Additional Notes "Candle wax, lime zest and honey lend lavish accents to crisp but concentrated tangerine, apricot flavors here. It's just a shade off dry in style, with a vibrant mineral finish. A fantastic value for such an elegantly composed Riesling." (Wine Enthusiast) |
