White semi dry
Grapes used to produce Lorch Feinherb grow on slate and quartzite soils, which give rise to aromas that are light yet expressive – wet stone, flint, and freshly cut grass. It is an intense, off-dry Riesling with a little more weight than is typical for wines of this style. The wine is distinctly mineral, and this minerality, combined with clearly defined acidity, allows it to maintain an excellent sense of freshness.
Serve at 8–10 °C with enchiladas, tandoori chicken, or fruit-based desserts.
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.
