2017 Rüdesheim Berg Schlossberg Riesling Q.b.A. Georg Breuer, Rheingau (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2017 Rüdesheim Berg Schlossberg Riesling Q.b.A., Georg Breuer

The 2017 Rüdesheimer Berg Schlossberg Riesling is still a bit oaky at this early moment but clear, bright and fresh on the nose. The attack on the palate is quite racy, but this lean and elegant Rüdesheim Riesling is a densely woven, tight and concentrated, very mineral and crunchy Berg Schlossberg with a piquant and tightly woven finish. This promising 2017 is far too young to be enjoyed in the next five years. - Stephan Reinhardt, Jan. 2020

Mosel Fine Wines - 2017 Rüdesheim Berg Schlossberg Riesling Q.b.A., Georg Breuer

The 2017er Rüdesheimer Berg Schlossberg Riesling was fermented down to legally dry levels of residual sugar (5 g/l). It develops a stunningly focused and precise nose made of pear, mirabelle, grapefruit, dried herbs and some flint stone. The wine proves gorgeously playful and precise on the rather mineral and herbal palate and leaves a lingering feel of citrusy fruits, mirabelle and lots of herbs in the hugely long finish. Everything is in perfect balance, the wine is magnificently focused and at its place. This little jewel in the making will, as usual, only really tart to shine in a decade or so. 2027-2047. - Jun. 2019
