Georg Breuer Terra Montosa 2022
27.58₣ (Exc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / Switzerland
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Terra Montosa comes from the five grand crus of the Rüdesheimer Berg and is assembled from the stücks and halbstücks that weren't selected for the single-vineyard wines. The wine is deep, pure and refined on the flinty and aromatic nose. Intense and textural on the palate, with fine phenolic grip and mineral acidity, this is a well-balanced and sustainably saline Rüdesheimer with a savory, intense, aromatic, refined and juicy finish. Excellent. The different parts were assembled in July after 10 months on the full lees. 11.5% stated alcohol. Diam cork. Tasted at the domaine in September 2023.

Description
Georg Breuer Terra Montosa wine, since the 1990 vintage, has been the result of a rigorous selection of Grand Cru, combining the second best sites from single plot vineyards. Its name, "Terra Montosa", comes from Latin and means "steep land", a term that dates back to a certificate from 1074 that records the original history of viticulture on the slopes of Rüdesheim.
Winemaking
Terra Montosa comes from the second quality plots of the Cru-classified vineyard sites in Rüdesheim, Rauenthal and Lorch. Here, deep soils of phyllite, clay and quartz slate predominate. The wine is the fruit of the efforts of the family vineyard run by Bernhard Breuer, who with a strict quality philosophy transformed the 40 hectares into one of the Rheingau's leading estates. Today, his daughter Theresa Breuer runs the estate, supported by vineyard manager Hermann Schmoranz and cellar master Markus Lundén.
Taste
Terra Montosa presents with a bright pale yellow colour. Its seductive aromas evoke yellow fruits, hay, wet stone and sweet spice. On the palate, there is impressive complexity accompanied by hints of tannin and strong acidity. It is a wine that strikes a balance between concentration and lightness, with 11.5% alcohol, 5.6 g/l of residual sugar and a total acidity of 9.0g/l.
