About this Wine

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. After three years characterized by warm summers and low rainfall, 2021 presented us with a cool and wet summer that challenged us viticulturally. After a warm winter, we again feared that there would be an early bud break again and that the trend of the last few years would continue. But a cold spring luckily slowed down the development of nature. Due to cool temperatures in July and August, we only started harvesting in mid-September. The grapes were extremely varied in quality and quantity … as there was a back and forth in terms of weather throughout the year. The grapes for this wine are sourced from the second-best parcels of the Cru-classified vineyard sites in Rüdesheim, Rauenthal and Lorch. Here deep Phyllite, clay and quartz slate soils prevail. 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 his daughter Theresa Breuer runs the estate supported by vineyard manager Hermann Schmoranz and cellar master Markus Lundén.

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. Bright pale yellow, enticing aromas of yellow fruits, hay, wet stone and sweet spiciness. On the palate there is an impressive complexity paired with hints of tannin and strong acidity. A connection between concentration and lightness. – Georg Breuer

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.
