點擊次數：6728

The 2022 Terra Montosa comes from the five grand crus of the Rüdesheimer Berg and is assembled from the stücks and halbstücks that weren't selected for the single-vineyard wines. The wine is deep, pure and refined on the flinty and aromatic nose. Intense and textural on the palate, with fine phenolic grip and mineral acidity, this is a well-balanced and sustainably saline Rüdesheimer with a savory, intense, aromatic, refined and juicy finish. Excellent. The different parts were assembled in July after 10 months on the full lees. 11.5% stated alcohol. Diam cork. Tasted at the domaine in September 2023.

Breuer's 2017 Riesling Terra Montosa blends Rieslings from the steep vineyards in Rüdesheim (Berg Roseneck, Berg Schlossberg, Berg Rottland) and Rauenthal (Nonnenberg) that are characterized by deep phyllite, loam and quartz/slate soils. This "super second" of the grand crus opens with a deep, fresh and stony-mineral nose with a flinty and crystalline impression. While it is pure but ripe and dense on the nose, the palate is generous and elegant in its texture and fruit. The wine has a full body and good mineral structure that carries it into a long, aromatic, densely woven, crystalline and salty finish. There is good tannin grip and spiciness here as well as a lot of salt and character. Bottled with a moderate 12% alcohol but so much power, grip and intensity! Tasted from AP #2.
