Georg Breuer Riesling Trocken Terra Montosa Patientia 2021

$9899

2021 was the coldest vintage in the Rheingau in over 30 years. The Breuer estate, always fans of extended maturation in bottle or cask, decided to hold back some of their excellent "baby Grand Cru" for three more years. This has given the wine even more complexity, sharpening the edges and creating an even more elegant mouthfeel.

Incredibly aromatic, with lingering baked bread aromas of long lees aging, fresh-cut apples, a touch of grassiness, hay, Japanese pear, lemon verbena, a touch of jalapeño spiciness, and just starting to show waxy, candied lemon and toasty tertiary flavors.

A blend of all their Grand Cru sites, it's a perfect snapshot of what to expect at the estate. Perfect with seafood, raw dishes, or alpine cheeses, this is a wine to drink now for its precision or age for complexity. One of Germany's smartest buys for serious dry Riesling lovers.

More about Georg Breuer

George Breuer is wo-manned by the delightful Theresa Breuer, who took over for her father at 20 and has helped to center the spotlight back on her home region of Rheingau. This storied hillside, whose wines, at one point, graced every royal table in Europe, had been on a slow decline for decades. Thanks to the work of those like Theresa, Eva Fricke and Josie Leitz, their fortunes are deservedly back on the rise.

What sets these apart from the rest of the pack are their dry, mineral-imbued, late-release Rieslings aged in barrels. The estates is run by a team with an ambitious sense of perfection, a vineyard manager dedicated to sustainable farming methods with a Fair n’ Green® certification, and winemakers crafting cellar-worthy wines with as little intervention as possible -- "controlled idleness".

Theresa's only makes wine from Rheingau's best vineyard, crafted traditionally: fermented naturally and aged in large, old German oak Hösch barrels. Each one carries a sturdy and firm structure, but never feel heavy, and are far more mineral than fruity; these are classics with a solid backbone. The GB wines have become some of the culty-est in the enviable Skurnik German portfolio.
