The 2021 Rüdesheim Berg Schlossberg Riesling from Weingut Breuer impresses with subtle elegance and boundless minerality.
This top Riesling thrives on the steepest vineyards in the small but beautiful south-facing slopes of the Rheingau, protected by the Taunus mountains. Under the management of Theresa Breuer and cellar master Markus Lundén, the 40-hectare winery produces gems like this one
In the 2021 vintage, the winemaking team had to face a cool and wet season, which resulted in a rich variety in quality and quantity. The grapes benefited from the barren soils of Rhine slate and Taunus quartzite, which serve as heat storage. The result is a Riesling that combines tradition and sophistication.
With notes of vineyard peach and candied orange peel, combined with a piquant acidity, clear minerality and a present fruit on the palate, this wine reveals an impressive balance of power and finesse. Its smooth mouthfeel shows great potential that will unfold magnificently over the next decades.

About German Wines
Germany is the world’s northernmost fine wine producing region and thus requires its vines to endure some of the coldest temperatures. Fortunately, the country’s star variety, Riesling, does well in cooler climates and can survive even these freezing winters.
Germany Riesling is classified by ripeness at harvest which is also used to indicate the wine’s level of residual sugar. Picking earlier means the grapes have less time to ripen and the corresponding wines will be on the drier side; while picking later gives the grapes the opportunity full ripen and produce a lusciously sweet Riesling. The classifications from driest to sweetest: Kabinett, Spätlese, Auslese, Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese and Eiswein (ice wine). While not as common to age white wines outside of Chardonnay, top tier German Rieslings can be aged for decades.
Other notable white grape varieties produced in Germany include Müller-Thurgau (a cross between Riesling and Madelaine Royale in the search for varieties that could withstand the extreme temperatures), Grauburguner (Pinot Gris) and Weissburguner (Pinot Blanc). The cooler German climate leads to earlier harvesting in general and gives German wines a distinctive character of higher acidity.
Historically red wine has always been harder to produce in the German climate. However, Pinot Noir grown in slightly warmer pockets of the country, has been highly successful in recent times. Going by the German name, Spätburgunder, German Pinot Noir can be elegant, structured and have vibrant acidity.
