(Georg Breuer Rüdesheimer Berg Schlossberg Riesling) AP: 01 17. The 2016er Rüdesheimer Berg Schlossberg was fermented to fully dry levels (3.9 g/l of residual sugar). It develops a delicately ample even if still completely reduced nose of candied grapefruit puree, pear, laurel and, deep below, some cassis and aniseed herbs. The wine starts off on a beautifully smooth and fruity side on the palate before it gains in grip and multi-layered presence as elements of bergamot, oregano and minerals come through. The finish is delicately smooth, refined, subtle and yet loaded with great complexity and quite some presence. This stunning effort in the making will need a solid decade to fully integrate its elements. There is quite some upside if the wine retains its complex and refined side in the finish over time. 2026-2046
