George Breuer Spatburgunder Rose Pinot Noir 750 ML

Region The Rheingau covers approximately 3.000 hectares of vineyards and is one of the smallest wine growing regions in Germany. The southerly exposed vineyard sites protected by the Taunus mountain range are a reliable source of one of the finest Riesling and Pinot Noir wines of the country. Vintage 2018 was a fantastic year for the vegetation in our vineyards. A bitter cold winter benefits the important hibernation of the vines. Mild temperatures in spring caused an early bud break. Our vineyards got luckily spared by winter frost. One of the hottest summers in the history of the winery was following. The dryness affected the growth not much and prevented the vines from fungal diseases. The vines were carrying a lot of grapes and the yield amount was high. The quality of the grape material was magnificent. Grape variety The right location and the vintner’s skill is essential for Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder) to fully express its elegant aroma profile. Early harvest and gentle pressing result in a delicate Rosé resembling allot of white wine characteristics. Soils Deep, gravely clay soils with layers of quartz and slate prevail in these southerly exposed steep vineyard sites. Wine estate Implementing a strict quality philosophy Bernhard Breuer turned the family-owned wine estate with its 34 hectares into a leading estate in the Rheingau. Today it is managed by his daughter Theresa Breuer and production manager of many years, Hermann Schmoranz, with the assistance of cellar master Markus Lundén. Wine description Brilliant pink with aromas of strawberries and raspberries combined with a fresh acidity make this a nice aperitif option. As a food pairing we recommend light and fruity starters or just a bowl of fresh strawberries.
