Georg Breuer Gris Grauburgunder

Georg Breuer Gris shows what Pinot Gris from the Rheingau can do: not a heavy, sleepy variety, but a structured white wine with depth and a creamy texture that lingers in the mouth.

The Georg Breuer winery in Rüdesheim is one of the leading names in the Rheingau region – known above all for its Rieslings from vineyards such as the Schlossberg. The Gris demonstrates that the estate also possesses a keen eye for craftsmanship when it comes to Pinot Gris.

In the glass, a medium golden yellow with a warm sheen. The nose opens with ripe yellow pears, white peach, and a floral hint – meadow flowers, a touch of elderflower. On the palate, it is clearly structured: the fruit is present without being overpowering, the texture silky-creamy, the finish fresh with a fine length.

Serving temperature: 10–12 °C. Pairs well with veal schnitzel with mushroom cream sauce, quiche with leeks and goat's cheese, or a good slice of Munster cheese. Also a sure bet as an aperitif with some charcuterie. Drink now.
