This bottle was donated by Jane Quick for the COVID-19 Charity Auction in aid of The Drinks Trust to support drinks industry employees.
A magnum bottle of Maximin Grünhaus 2018 Abtsberg Riesling Spätlese from Germany's Mosel Valley.
The 14 hectare south-facing Abtsberg vineyard is planted on blue Devonian slate subsoil on an incredibly steep 70% gradient two kilometres from where the river Ruwer meets the Mosel, and the Maximin Grünhaus estate itself has a history of viticulture that dates back to Roman times.
'This offers a very intense, lime and herb nose and fresh minerals, delivering a very harmonious impression. The depth and sense of seamlessness here is incredible. This has a super pure feel with juicy and intensely ripe fruit on offer. Such length and purity. Drink over two decades. 96/100' James Suckling
