Georg Breuer Pfaffenwies 2020
£61.00 (Inc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / North Ireland
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2020 Pfaffenwies is sourced in the upper and lower plots of the cru, whereas in 2019, it was sourced just in the lower vineyards and the top section as well as the younger middle part went into the Terra Montosa. The bouquet is fascinating in its slatey/flinty purity and lemon-scented intensity with just a hint of oak. Vinified in oak like the Montosa, this is a full-bodied, pure, fresh and mineral Pfaffenwies with power, salt and grip and enormous length and complexity. Power and texture meet grip and salinity here, and although the 2020 is still a baby, it is highly promising. 12% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in July 2022.

Description
Pfaffenwies comes from the upper and lower plots of the cru. This terroir benefits from the warm humidity of the Rhine, the slate and quartzite soils of the Hunsrück and Taunus, and the deep loess on the lower slopes. This unique combination results in a wine with a distinctive and memorable character.
Its bouquet is fascinating, with a slatey purity and a lemony aromatic intensity with a slight hint of oak. Despite being vinified in oak, this wine stands out for its freshness, minerality and power, offering a flavour full of salinity and grip, and tremendous length and complexity.
Taste
Georg Breuer Pfaffenwies is renowned for its elegance and finesse. It delights us with warm tones of almond and camomile on the nose. On the palate, it is fruity yellow and slightly floral. Despite its lightness, it has great tension, with gentle acidity and a robust finish.
