Wine growing area The Rheingau covers approximately 3.000 hectares of vineyards and is one of the smallest wine growing regions in Germany. The southerly exposed vineyard sites protected by the Taunus mountain range are a reliable source of one of the finest Riesling wines of the country. Vintage During the year, the winemakers mainly had to deal with drought stress in the vineyard. Although the vine with its long roots can compensate for drought, the now third dry season is clearly noticeable in three consecutive years. Fortunately, this did not affect the ripening of the grapes in the Rheingau area. The loose grapes of this vintage were healthy until harvest and had a fruity note. Grape variety In terms of elegance and finesse Riesling is the country’s premier grape. The vineyards along the Rhine provide for ideal growing conditions. With its distinctive aromatic profile, delicate structure and tangy acidity Riesling produces not only the finest German wines, it earns world-wide recognition as well. Soils Parcels of the vineyard site „Berg Rottland“ stretching into the village of Rüdesheim predominantly consist of deep loess soils, elsewhere shallow, gravely soils emerging from slate and sandstone prevail. The word Rottland derives from an old word meaning “preparing land for cultivation”. Wine estate Implementing a strict quality philosophy Bernhard Breuer turned the family-owned wine estate with its 40 hectares into a leading estate in the Rheingau. Today it is managed by his daughter Theresa Breuer and production manager of many years, Hermann Schmoranz, with the assistance of cellar master Markus Lundén. Wine description A mineral Riesling with subtle power, flow and deepness. Juicy without being thick. Fine notes of apricot, apple, herbs, juicy lemon and some stony dust. Animating in combination with elegance and lushness.
