Georg Breuer Rauenthal Nonnenberg Riesling Trocken 2021

The Georg Breuer Rauenthal Nonnenberg Riesling Trocken 2021 comes from the steep Nonnenberg vineyard in Rauenthal, Rheingau. The slate soil imparts a distinctive minerality and a cool freshness to the wine, which is preserved through careful harvesting and gentle vinification. The renowned Breuer winery, established for decades, is known for terroir-driven Rieslings crafted with meticulous workmanship and minimal intervention. The 2021 vintage displays an elegant balance between fruit, structure, and the dry style, firmly anchoring the wine in its region. Critics such as Falstaff, Parker, and Jancis Robinson regularly praise the pronounced minerality and precise fruit expression of such Rieslings – this 2021 Trocken Riesling delivers precisely this profile with its own unique identity.

The nose is dominated by green lime, ripe apple, and floral notes, complemented by a delicate petrol scent. On the palate, the wine is fresh and focused: clear fruit, vibrant acidity, and mineral-salty nuances; the finish is long and elegant, without heaviness. The dryness harmonizes with the cool structure, allowing the wine to be enjoyed young or further developed over several years – typical of the Rauenthal style in the 2021 vintage.

The ideal drinking window develops over the coming years, offering a vibrant balance between freshness and depth. Food pairing: Grilled vegetables, asparagus dishes, Asian cuisine such as sushi or light Thai curry, and creamy cheese variations – dishes that perfectly complement the mineral freshness and elegant juiciness of this Riesling.
