Cultivation has a long history dating back to Roman times and monasteries were important in the Middle Ages.
Moselle wines are fresh, fruity and elegant; Rieslings are known for their fine acidity, complex flavours and mineral notes.
Dry, semi-dry or sweet wines offer a variety of flavours that are given an unmistakable character by special climatic conditions and soils.
The Maximin Grünhaus winery is located near Trier, where the Ruwer flows into the Moselle. Wine has been cultivated here since Roman times. The estate has been in the hands of the von Schubert family for several generations, and today Maximin von Schubert is at the helm.
Traditionally, almost exclusively Riesling is produced. The switch to more elaborate, organically orientated production took place many years ago.
