Georg Breuer - top wines from the Rheingau region

Especially the top sites Rüdesheimer Schloßberg and the monopollage Nonnenberg are among the best the Rheingau has to offer. Georg Breuer consistently produces the highest quality, as its own standards set and continue to set standards for the region.

The Georg Breuer Winery 

The traditional winery Georg Breuer from Rüdesheim in the Rheingau is considered among experts and wine connoisseurs as a paradise for the locally typical Riesling grape variety. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the Breuer family has been vinifying the noble grape on the steep slopes of the Rhine. Especially through the Riesling icon Bernhard Breuer, the winery reached the top circle of the best winemakers in Germany. After a tragic stroke of fate, his daughter Theresa Breuer took over the management of the Georg Breuer winery and proves that sustainable cultivation and artisanal methods are still used to press one of the best Riesling wines in Germany.

Rheingau, Riesling, Rüdesheim - a magical spot for top wines

The reputation that extends beyond the state's borders is based primarily on the top vineyards around Rüdesheim and Rauenthal. The area under cultivation covers about 40 hectares, 62% of which are steep slopes. And the names of the vineyards, from which the balanced wines with noticeable terroir of the Georg Breuer winery spring, read like the basics of top vineyards, as taught not far away in the Geisenheim wine school. Berg Schlossberg, Berg Roseneck, Berg Rottland and Nonnenberg near Rauenthal - Berg stands for Steillage - offer world-class wines, confirmed by experts à la Falstaff, Gault & Millau and Robert Parker. 

History of the Georg Breuer winery

But a top winery would not be a top winery if it were not for passionate people who indulge in the craft of winemaking and for whom only the highest possible quality is good enough. The story of Georg Breuer Weingut begins years earlier, but it was in the late 1970s that brothers Bernhard and Heinrich Breuer took over their parents' estate and led it to international recognition. With the purchase of the best sites and as a leading force, in the pursuit of the top quality from the Rheingau known today, Bernhard Breuer established himself as an absolute legend. It is all the more tragic that the winemaker, bursting with his own ideas and projects, died suddenly in 2004. 

In the wake of this, the threesome of Theresa Breuer, Operations Manager Hermann Schmoranz and Cellarmaster Markus Lundén formed to keep the winery and Bernhard Breuer's legacy alive. With success. As a driving force, Theresa Breuer has expanded the winery and sharpened the focus on the vineyard. As a result, the winery, which is already close to nature and sustainable, was certified with the Fair and Green seal. Low yields of 45 hl/ha, seasonal greening and biodiversity instead of monoculture are just some of the guiding principles that come into play in the vineyard. Sustainability is the way, best possible ripeness of juicy grapes the result.
