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.
