2012 Rüdesheim Berg Schlossberg Riesling Q.b.A. Georg Breuer, Rheingau

Mosel Fine Wines: The 2012er Berg Schlossberg, as it is referred to on the consumer label, is a legally dry Riesling (with 8 g/l of residual sugar) made from the Estate’s finest casks from this vineyard. It offers an elegantly smoky and still slightly closed nose driven by grapefruit, pear, vineyard peach, sage, greengage, and spices. The wine is packed with flavors on the delicately zesty palate, and leaves a superbly precise and subtly racy feel in the creamy and long finish. It is really well balanced and possesses great energy and purity in the after-taste. This wine has quite some upside potential as it fleshes out and develops more presence over the coming few years. 2024-2042 - Jan. 2020
