This winery once belonged to the abbey of St-Maximin in Trier, with a winemaking history dating back more than 1,000 years. The von Schubert family has owned the estate since 1882. Sixth-generation Maximin von Schubert expanded the Riesling tradition by introducing Pinot Noir, planting the vines in 2007 on the Abtsberg – one of three historic monopole sites characterised by blue slate soil. With the 2022 vintage, this became the first red wine from the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer to carry the VDP Grosses Gewächs (equivalent to Burgundy’s grand cru) classification. Caro Maurer MW: Ripe, highly concentrated fruit, but plenty of spice from ageing in new oak barrels; more graphite than toast. A very elegant, smooth, silky flow. Mark Dearing: Pulpy and sappy palate, long and spicy, slatey with an undertow of salts and stones, finishing on red plums. Neat and juicy with impressive length. Stefan Neumann MS: Wonderful energy, with equal measures of power and finesse. Juicy, vibrant yet tightly knit. It might show an unusual side of the grape, but with such refinement. Gosh, what a wine.
