The cellar below the press house is the heart of the estate. For hundreds of years, it was a site for grand Rieslings to sleep in their barrels after vinification and then continue their development after bottling — the past as the foundation for a meaningful future.

Each site, each grape variety, each vintage is different and requires its own nuanced vinification. The wild yeast from our vineyard and cellar and the oak barrels harvested from our local forests interact beautifully. Years of experience have taught us the ideal recipe for capturing the unmistakable taste of Weingut Maximin Grünhaus in every delicious sip.

The three monopole sites offer diversity at the finest level. From the foundation to the peak, the wines do more than just convey their origin. They offer dynamic energy in their youth, liveliness in their adolescence and incredible balance and elegance when allowed to mature. At each stage, these wines reveal something remarkable to enjoy.

The Maximin Grünhaus library draws on decades, if not centuries, of institutional memory. Special wines are placed here to mature to their fullest grandeur and elegance. Few other places so wonderfully bring together past and present. Listen carefully and one can hear the extended heartbeat of a historically singular terroir.
