Georg Breuer Berg Rottland Rheingau Riesling 2018 QbA - a single-vineyard Riesling from the Berg Rottland vineyard in Rüdesheim in the Rheingau region. This is a concentrated but not heavy wine that combines minerality, elegance and a clear inner tension.
The aroma is dominated by notes of apricot, apple, herbs and juicy lemon, accompanied by a stony, dusty mineral impression. This aromatic profile is not noisy or exotic. It is more precise, restrained and layered, typical of the more serious style of Rheingau Riesling.
The wine is juicy but not massive. It is characterized by good flow, lively acidity and a dry, clear structure.
The analytical indicators show a neat balance: 4.1 g/l residual sugar and 6.9 g/l acid, so the wine maintains freshness, precision and a long, mineral aftertaste.
Berg Rottland is one of the most famous vineyards on the Rüdesheim slopes. This location has a southern exposure, and the soils combine deep loess with shallow, stony layers of slate and sandstone. The VDP source indicates that the vines were planted here as early as 1074, and the name is associated with the old meaning of the word “preparation of the land for cultivation”. Such a combination usually gives the wine ripeness, stonyness and long development potential.
2018 was a very successful year for Georg Breuer’s farm: after a cold winter period, an early bud burst, a hot summer and healthy, abundant bunches followed. The producer emphasizes that the quality of the harvest was excellent.
Awarded “Riesling of the Year” by the wine magazine “Vinum” - this is a bearable lightness of being, deep and complex, clear and lively. Great wine!
Serve at 8-10 °C with fish-based main dishes, fish-based pasta or rice dishes, fresh cheeses, main dishes featuring white meats, vegetarian dishes.
A gently spicy and creamy layer underpins this very vibrant and fresh, dry riesling. Considerable structure and weight here. Flowers and fruit on the nose translate to smooth white-nectarines- and lemon flavors. Drink or hold.
The estate, founded in 1880 as part of a wine merchant company, has been owned by the Breuer family since the beginning of the 20th century. Georg Breuer enlarged the estate and increased the export of wines. His sons Bernhard and Heinrich and later Bernhard’s daughter Theresa expanded the vineyard size to 40 hectares in the best Rüdesheim, Rauenthal and Lorch sites. From the early 80’s Bernhard Breuer’s efforts gained an international reputation for the estate. 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.
