Wine profile
2022 „TERRA MONTOSA“ RIESLING
Wine growing area
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 for ideal growing conditions. With its distinctive aromatic profile, delicate structure and tangy acidity
Riesling produces not only the finest German wines, it earns world-wide recognition as well.
Soils
The grapes for this wine are sourced from the second-best parcels of the Cru-classified vineyard sites in Rüdesheim, Rauenthal and Lorch. Here deep Phyllite, clay and quartz slate soils prevail.
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, enticing aromas of yellow fruits, hay, wet stone and sweet spiciness. On the palate there is
an impressive complexity paired with hints of tannin and strong acidity. A connection between concentration and lightness.
