ESTATE LORCH RIESLING QBA 2021

Region

The Rheingau covers approximately 3.000 hectares of vineyards and is one of the smallest wine growing

regions in Germany. The southerly exposed vineyard sites protected by the Taunus mountain range are

a reliable source of one of the finest Riesling wines of the country.

Vintage

The year 2022 was characterized by high temperatures and little rainfall. It was topped with a summer with

many hours of sunshine, but also with some challenging weather conditions. The right timing was most

important during the harvest in order to be able to adjust the optimum ripeness without sacrificing quality.

Thanks to the conscientious manual work and precise selection, healthy and ripe grapes could be harvested

and processed. So we can look forward to the wines with complexity, fruit and a distinctive aroma.

Grape variety

In terms of elegance and finesse Riesling is the country’s premier grape. The vineyards along the Rhine

provide ideal growing conditions. With its distinctive aromatic profile, delicate structure and tangy acidity

Riesling produces not only the finest German wines but also it earns world-wide recognition.

Soils

The grapes for this village-Riesling are sourced from south west orientated steep vineyard sites in Lorch

dominated by quartzite, slate soils.

Wine estate

Implementing a strict quality philosophy Bernhard Breuer turned the family-owned wine estate with its

40 hectares into a leading estate in the Rheingau. Today, his daughter Theresa Breuer runs the estate supported by vineyard manager Hermann Schmoranz and cellar master Markus Lundén.

Wine description

Bright yellow, green reflexes, yellow fruits up to citrus notes in the aroma. On the palate with pressure,

straight and cool framed by mineral hints. The balance between the strong acidity structure and intense

extract sweetness is bringing a long finish in this wine.
