Georg Breuer

RHEINGAU
Finished alcohols are in the upper 11s or just over 12%, enhancing the tendency at this address to achieve ever-greater refinement, clarity and filigree in dry Rieslings that were already among the Rheingau’s best. DAVID SCHILDKNECHT

Bernhard Breuer was a pioneer. Few other estates in Germany had been as consistent over the years with their dry rieslings as Georg Breuer had been under his guidance. Moreover, these wines age gracefully and are always near the top of their class in the "ten years after" tastings that I do each year. JOEL B PAYNE, Vinous Media

Tasting Theresa Breuer's most recent vintages is always a highlight while traveling through the Rheingau. Her Rieslings are lean, straight and very mineral, and although they might appear a bit austere in their youth, they are highly refined and can age terrifically well, revealing their complexity year after year a little bit more. STEPHAN REINHARDT, The Wine Advocate

 Recent years have seen the star of this estate rise as the quality has gone from consistently good to outright brilliant under the watchful gaze of Theresa Breuer. Always a little tighter and more focused than many in the region these wines are the reference point for precision and crystaline purity today. Alcohols tend to be lower than most, meaning that their most prestigious site, Berg Schlossberg often does not have the must weight to qualify for GG status, something Theresa couldn't care less about. She is more concerned that the wines demonstrates the precision and cut she is looking for than qualifying for some arbitrary number the local VDP has decided qualifies a wine to considered GG quality. For me it doesn't get much better than Breuer. Don't overlook her Terra Montosa either, regularly one of the most striking inexpensive Rieslings produced in Germany... yes it is a big call but there you go. ROSCOE
