The wine offers a rather reduced feel of wet stone, pear, herbs and fine spices. It offers great balance on the palate and the finish is nicely long and elegant. This needs a couple of years to enter its maturity window and could then even prove better than initially expected if it gains further in complexity. 2021-2036+


Site-typical scents and flavors of white peach and lime gain from sea breeze and mouthwateringly savory accents in a bottling fuller in feel (albeit only marginally higher in alcohol) than the corresponding Herrenberg, and – again, site-typically – more vividly underlain with wet stone. There is a welcome sense of transparency to the finishing flavors reminiscent of Grünhaus Riesling at its (dare I say “old time”?) best. In characteristic fashion, Abtsberg here offers a serenely static counterpart to the Herrenberg’s nervous energy. I hope my quantified estimations of ageworthiness prove overly conservative.
