2018 Mosel-Saar-Ruwer GG (Abtsberg, Bruderberg, Herrenberg, Karthäuserhofberg) -- Karthäuserhof and von Schubert/Maximin Grünhaus



The Ruwer’s GG's in 2018.



KARTHÄUSERHOF

2018 (Eitelsbach) Karthäuserhofberg Riesling GG
Tightly-wound, energetic, powerful, stony. 92+/A



von SCHUBERT/MAXIMIN GRÜNHAUS

2018 (Maximin Grünhaus) Abtsberg Riesling GG
Acidity, some yellow fruit, medium-light, energetic. 91/A-

2018 (Maximin Grünhaus) Bruderberg Riesling GG
Looser structure than Herrenberg. Not as concentrated. Some mineral. Normally, wines are not made and separately labelled for the Bruderberg site (I have seen QbA’s in the past and maybe a Kabinett or two), but Dr. Carl von Schubert said that it is a high acid terroir, and so in a vintage such as 2018, it worked for a GG. 91/A-

2018 (Maximin Grünhaus) Herrenberg Riesling GG
Round, yellow fruit, medium-weight, moderate acidity, sensual, drink young. 92/A
