Steeped in history, the Von Schubert estate is housed in a former monastic house at the foot of the Maximin Grünhaus hill along the Ruwer, a tributary of the Mosel. Its intricate label design is a sheer work of art, but contained within the bottle is something even more exciting. Carl Von Schubert was the talented winemaker behind these elegant Rieslings. He is still very much involved, but has passed control onto his son, Maximin, who treats their special vineyards with the same reverence. The estate boasts three top sites: the Herrenberg and the Abtsberg are immensely steep and rich in blue Devonian slate that gives wines of outstanding longevity, while the Bruderberg is their smallest (1ha), coolest plot responsible for lively, racy Rieslings with spine tingling acidity.Read less
Region
Mosel
The Mosel's terroir is exceptional, composed primarily of grey-blue and red slate that climb up totremendously steep cliffs - the steepest vineyards in the world to be exact. Due to the Middle Mosel's lack of soil paired with its incredibly good drainage, most of the vines are not graftedonto American rootstocks as phylloxera cannot survive. As a result, the vines grow exceptionally slowly creating wines that tend to be wonderfully pure, tender and focused.
