Georg Breuer 'Terra Montosa' Riesling

2021 Vintage Tasted: Jul 2025

Welcome to the mystery! With a very deep and complex nose of candied citrus peel and flint, this is an astonishing expression of the vintage. The interplay of leesy creaminess and wet-stone freshness is spectacular on the medium-bodied palate. Steely, super-long and straight finish. Limited production, matured for three years in large neutral oak, then bottled in summer 2024. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold.

2024 Vintage Tasted: Jul 2025

The wonderful nose of Amalfi lemon, white peach and chamomile pulls you into this extremely focused and crystalline dry riesling that may be barely medium-bodied, but has enormous depth of character. Radical stony minerality at the super-long, racy finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold.

2023 Vintage Tasted: Oct 2024

The peachy core of this excellent dry riesling has an exotic fruit and flower complexity that gives it a unique personality. Intense crushed rock minerality on the very focused, medium-bodied palate. Very long, straight finish with complex candied citrus and wild herb character. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold.

2020 Vintage Tasted: Oct 2024

A seriously structured dry riesling that is on the austere side of the spectrum, with pronounced oaky elements that you’ll either love or reach for something more charming. Masses of candied citrus peel character right through the long, structured finish. Bottled in July 2024 after three and half years in barrel. Limited production. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold.

In the closed aroma one finds hints of grapefruit, bitter orange and slate. In the mouth, the wine has great smoothness, showing roundness and silkiness with phenolics that start mild and increase to a firm grip as the palate progresses. Stable acidity gives length.

2022 Vintage Tasted: Sep 2023

This mineral masterpiece is very finely nuanced, but it doesn’t mess around, rather it makes a bold statement of intent. Very complex nose of wet stones, rhubarb, white peaches and flowers. Dense yet delicate, structured and filigree, this medium-bodied wine shoots across the palate with a linearity that reminds me of Australian dry riesling, but is married to wonderful wild-herb delicacy. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold.

Yeast and flint on the nose, as well as tangerine. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and still quite introverted, the acidity is firm but ripe, a supple layer binds the structure. The structure of the wine already has length, the aromas will come with bottle maturity.

2018 Vintage Tasted: Jul 2022

Intensely flinty nose, but it’s very unusual to meet this in combination with mature aromas. Much mellower on the palate than the nose suggested, with tons of structure, thanks to the combination of perceptible oak tannins and long sur-lie maturation. Still lots of dried lemon zest, dried sage and tarragon and a touch of resiny character at the long, crisp finish. Bottled after 3 years on the lees in neutral wood. Drink or hold.

2020 Vintage Tasted: Dec 2021

Still closed on the nose, slightly savoury and mineral, but nothing overpowering, not even in the fruit. Full-bodied on the palate, supple in the right measure, carried by mineral extract, generous phenolics, finely textured and completely at peace with itself.

2019 Vintage Tasted: Nov 2020

On the nose, vine peach and light rose notes with some spice. On the palate, clear, crunchy acidity and an animating minerality. A wonderful blend of precise fruit and mineral depth.

2019 Vintage Tasted: Aug 2020

This is a bit closed and, therefore, not one of the 2019s that leap into your face. Yet, it has really impressive depth, is precisely proportioned and has a lot of finesse at the very long finish. Try to be patient, if you want the best from this delicate masterpiece. From organically grown grapes with Fair’n Green certification. Drink or hold.

Tiefe Noten in der Nase: roter Apfel, Pfirsich, ein Hauch Rose und Pfeffer, mineralische Würze. Am Gaumen vollfruchtig, saftig, feine Süße. Dabei sehr stimmig ergänzt von feiner Phenolik und Struktur, zitrischem Säuregerüst und feiner Schiefermineralik.

Der lateinische Begriff bedeutet «steiler Berg» und meint in diesem Fall Lagen in Rüdesheim und Rauenthal. Hinter einem feinen Schleier aus Rauchnoten öffnet sich eine Frucht, die nicht bloss spielen will, sondern mit Biss und Mineralität fordert.

2017 Vintage Tasted: Nov 2018

Ripe yellow fruit, but not the candied kind, subtle and natural, with notes of mirabelle plum, white peaches. Also, slate. Full and sensual on the palate, fruity and savoury, ripe, with a structured acidity, deep mineral notes.

2016 Vintage Tasted: Dec 2017

Gibt sich betont verschlossen, fast arrogant möchte man meinen, wenn sich karge Mineralik so deutlich in den Vordergrund schiebt. Die Frucht als Mesokarp. Glasklar und messerscharf gibt er sich am Gaumen, straff bis zum Schluss.

2015 Vintage Tasted: Aug 2017

It would be hard to find a more classical dry Rheingau riesling than this. The bouquet makes me think of 17th century Dutch still life paintings; the frozen beauty of perishable fruits and flowers, the silence, the subtle shadings. In spite of its sleek frame, this has stunning concentration, is finely nuanced and has a long bone-dry very mineral finish. Best through 2030.

Sehr verschlossen, dezenter Riesling, leicht jodig, am Gaumen frisch, trocken schmeckend trotz des süßen Gegengewichts, fokussiert und geradeaus, gutes Volumen am Gaumen, sehr gelungen, schon jetzt mit Vergnügen zu trinken und außerdem mit Potenzial.
