Georg Breuer Rudesheimer Berg Schlossberg Riesling 2020

The Georg Breuer Rudesheimer Berg Schlossberg Riesling 2020 is an outstanding example of Rheingau Riesling. The Georg Breuer winery, one of the most influential estates in the region, combines decades of tradition with consistently precise winemaking. The wine comes from the legendary Berg Schlossberg vineyard in Rüdesheim, whose steep slate soils and the cool Rhine microclimate create a distinctive minerality and a fresh, delicate structure. The 2020 vintage impressively demonstrates how ripeness meets clarity: vinified dry, it balances fruit and borealis character into an elegant, multifaceted harmony.

Tasting note: The nose reveals nuances of green apple and grapefruit, paired with floral breadcrumbs and subtle mineral notes derived from the slate soil. On the palate, a concentrated yet structured fruit palette unfolds – peach, lime, a hint of quince – supported by a lively, yet well-integrated acidity and a pronounced minerality. The finish is long, clean, and distinctly mineral, with a nuanced salinity that lingers. The wine is expected to reach its drinking window around 2026 and extend to approximately 2032, although it is already showing approachability and will gain depth with age. Food pairing: This wine pairs perfectly with asparagus with hollandaise, grilled turbot, or scallops, complemented by spicy Asian dishes or a mature hard cheese.
