Winery Georg Breuer Schlossberg Riesling 2015
Strict selection was necessary when harvesting the 2015 Berg Schlossberg, after a hot summer and a few rainy days in September strained the nerves of winegrowers in the Rheingau. At the Georg Breuer winery, whose pursuit of quality can almost be described as fanatical, this meant a yield of just 18 hectolitres per hectare. The result, however, is a Riesling like few others in the Rheingau. Citrus fruit meets the salty minerality of quartzite and red slate, racy acidity meets a firm structure, to which vegetal notes and a hint of tannin lend great depth. A wine that was rather reserved in its youth, but is now at its peak - and will certainly be for several years to come.
