Georg Breuer Terra Montosa Riesling 2021

The grapes for this wine are sourced from the second-best parcels of the grand cru-classified vineyard sites in Rüdesheim and Rauenthal. Here deep phyllite, clay and quartzite slate soils prevail. The Latin name “Montosa” hints at the mountainous earth of the steep vineyard sites.

The 2021 Terra Montosa is pure yet also intense and ripe on the nose that offers ripe and concentrated Riesling fruit as well as slate and quartzite aromas. Intense, complex and juicy on the palate, this is a spectacular Riesling sourced in the top vineyards of Rauenthal, Rüdesheim and Lorch. The wine is intense yet pure and salty and reveals the tropical Breuer grip that some might find austere, yet Riesling lovers love it. Drink 2025-2040. 92 Points. Stephen Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate.
