The 2021 Rüdesheim Berg Schlossberg Riesling from Weingut Breuer impresses with subtle elegance and boundless minerality.

This top Riesling thrives on the steepest vineyards in the small but beautiful south-facing slopes of the Rheingau, protected by the Taunus mountains. Under the management of Theresa Breuer and cellar master Markus Lundén, the 40-hectare winery produces gems like this one

In the 2021 vintage, the winemaking team had to face a cool and wet season, which resulted in a rich variety in quality and quantity. The grapes benefited from the barren soils of Rhine slate and Taunus quartzite, which serve as heat storage. The result is a Riesling that combines tradition and sophistication.

With notes of vineyard peach and candied orange peel, combined with a piquant acidity, clear minerality and a present fruit on the palate, this wine reveals an impressive balance of power and finesse. Its smooth mouthfeel shows great potential that will unfold magnificently over the next decades.
