Georg Breuer Berg Schlossberg 2023
£138.95 (Inc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / Spain
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2023 Berg Schlossberg is intense in its radiant yellow color and also deep, intense and complex on the generous yet elegant and refined nose that opens to the dimensions of a grand cru. Silky, round and very elegant on the palate, this is a rich and intense, structured and very long Berg Schlossberg that is ripe and generous in flavors and texture but still pure, fine and mineral, a great interpretation of the vintage adapted by the genius Berg Schlossberg. The grapes were picked at the right time and thus with remarkably fine and elegant acidity. Textured almost like a fine Burgundy, the wine is provided with irresistible juicy fruit and a long and saline aftertaste with promising phenol as well as mineral grip. This is very long, intense and also powerful yet not alcoholic but athletic. 12.5% stated alcohol. Diam 30 cork. Tasted in August 2024.

Winemaking
Description
Georg Breuer Berg Schlossberg wine comes from the Rheingau region, one of the smallest in Germany with about 3000 hectares. The plot is situated on steep south-facing slopes and is protected from the cold north winds by the Taunus Mountains. This white wine of the Riesling variety, with its distinctive aromatic profile, delicate structure and sharp acidity, is the main grape of this wine, renowned not only for producing the finest German wines, but also for its worldwide recognition.
Winemaking
The "Berg Schlossberg" vineyard is located in a bend of the Rhine, with vineyards that are the steepest in the Rheingau, with slopes of up to 65%. The soil, consisting of Rhine slate and Taunus quartzite, acts as a heat store. The winery, under Bernhard Breuer's philosophy of strict quality, has been transformed into one of the Rheingau's leading wineries, now managed by his daughter Theresa Breuer, with the help of cellar master Markus Lundén.
Taste
Georg Breuer Berg Schlossberg is an amalgam of power and finesse. Simultaneously savoury and juicy, this wine stands out for its mineral spiciness. With a delicate aroma of stone fruits and orange peel, this Riesling is characterised by its elegant style and fine tannins. It is long-lasting and has monumental depth. With an intense, grippy and thoroughly dry finish, it reveals citrus notes and hints of crushed slate and quartzite.
