ABOUT THIS WINE
The Georg Breuer Nonnenberg 2022 is a single-vineyard Riesling from the Rauenthal site in Germany's Rheingau region. This wine originates from a monopole vineyard, exclusively owned by the Georg Breuer estate, known for its dedication to nature-oriented viticulture. The vineyard's steep, south-facing aspect and deep phyllite soils are key to its character. The 2022 vintage presented a warm, dry growing season, leading to wines of notable complexity and aromatic intensity. The vines themselves are over 70 years old, contributing to the wine's depth and structure.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Nonnenberg Riesling is produced using spontaneous fermentation, allowing indigenous yeasts to drive the process. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for eleven months in large, old wooden barrels. The 2022 vintage involved careful manual harvesting and selection of grapes, necessitated by warm, dry conditions. The estate practices organic viticulture, holding Fair'n Green certification.
