Mid Lemon in colour. Quite a complex yet correct modern Chardonnay showing grapefruit and nuts. This ticks all the boxes and punches above its weight for $40. Shows again how the Adelaide Hills is an excellent district for Chardonnay. I hope the recent bushfires up there have not been too damaging @Scott Rowe Named in honour of Max Schubert who was Penfolds winemaker from 1948 to 1975 and the creator of Grange. — 6 years ago

Nice wine. A bit more powerful of a style. Bottled just a few weeks ago - quite fresh. Finish was a bit thin at first but with some air firmed up and the acid made itself know. Mouth filling with good fruit and acidity, and a bit of earth. — 7 years ago

Dig that crazy iron soil with quartz. Big, bold Shiraz with soft minerals and iron pan that doesn't seem all that earthy. So good. — 9 years ago

Straw hues; bouquet of white flowers, notes of honey, mango, and dried apricot on the nose; palate is moderated with lively acidity and delicate pear notes. Subtle effervescence. #mosel #germanwines #rieslingfix #maximingrünhauser #vdp #vonschubert — 6 years ago

A great value buy from GL at $13 bin end sale. Previous bottle was great. This one accidently frozen for 4 hrs couple weeks ago when forgotten in freezer for BYOW dinner, then thawed. Opened 9/9/18. Acidic and minerals on palate after impression of rocks and stone fruits and lemon on nose. Long acidic finish. Great with shrimp and should be for seafoods and others. Too bad likely last bottle. — 7 years ago

Lime and green apples on the nose. Sweet, fresh and concentrated. A bit to sweet for my taste. Not a huge fan of spatlese. — 6 years ago

The condition of the bottle was remarkable - the wine was fresh and crisp, like the day it was bottled. Bright with a tinge of green, no signs of TDN at all. Only the mellowed acidity gave any indication of age. Insane!

Despite all that, the wine itself was rather disappointing. Not really complex or deep, and finish was quite short. I guess it did come from a tough vintage. However, it had the classic Grunhaus lightness - drinking more like a kabi than spat. In conclusion, an easy fun drink that fell below expectations. — 7 years ago

Less acid structure than '15 so the sugar reveals more of itself. Nonetheless an outstanding wine to drink with spicy broccoli salad. — 8 years ago

’04 was a cooler, higher acid vintage with limited botrytis. Nevertheless, this ABTSBERG Beerenauslese was tasting like true AMBROSIA, meaning “the nectar of the gods”. This heavenly Ruwer Riesling is quite drinkable now in a half bottle, but still has years of life left in it. You could pair it with a fruit-based dessert, but really it is dessert all by itself:-) — 9 years ago
