The estate, founded in 1880 as part of a wine merchant company, has been owned by the Breuer family since the beginning of the 20th century. Georg Breuer enlarged the estate and increased the export of wines. His sons Bernhard and Heinrich and later Bernhard’s daughter Theresa expanded the vineyard size to 40 hectares in the best Rüdesheim, Rauenthal and Lorch sites. From the early 80’s Bernhard Breuer’s efforts gained an international reputation for the estate. 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.

We cultivate 40 hectares of vineyards in Rheingau, in Rüdesheim (25,5 ha), Rauenthal (6,5 ha) and Lorch (8 ha), 65% of which is on steep slopes. Grape varieties: 86% Riesling, 10% Pinot Noir, 3% Pinot Gris, 1% Pinot Blanc, Orléans and Heunisch.

The estate, founded in 1880 as part of a wine merchant company by Bernhard Scholl and Albert Hillebrand, has been owned by the Breuer family since the beginning of the 20th century.
Peter Breuer handed the estate to his son Georg (1910-1982), after whom it is named today. Georg enlarged the estate and increased the export of wines. His sons Heinrich and Bernhard Breuer expanded the vineyards to 15 hectares in the 80ies and have now reached with the take-over of the monopol Rauenthal Nonnenberg and further purchases a total size of 34 hectares (84 acres) in the best Rüdesheim and Rauenthal sites.

From the early eighties Bernhard Breuer’s efforts gained an international reputation for the estate.
His visions and his hard work made the estate what it is today.

After the unexpected passing of Bernhard in May 2004, his daughter Theresa together with his brother Heinrich Breuer and long term operations manager Hermann Schmoranz, devotedly took over managing the business.

Today, the estate is managed by Theresa with the continued assistance from Hermann Schmoranz and cellar master Markus Lunden.
Marlene and Marcia Breuer support the winery in matters of administration and design.

We enjoy drinking every wine sold under our label and identify ourselves with each wine we produce. Our wines satisfy our stringent requirements for quality.
Our wines compliment good food, are intense, elegant and age well, attributes that correspond to our idea of quality.

The date of harvest by selective hand picking is therefore always determined by the highest physiological ripeness and perfect health of the grapes. This results in the perfect balance, aromas and structure which are more important to us than the must weight. Extract and depth have priority to yields.
We believe in traditional artisan methods of vinification. Conscious of our commitment to protect the environment we implement natural methods of viticulture. Accordingly we reduce yields to an average of 42 hl/ha, diversify from single crop farming method and use seasonal grass cover.

We consider wine as part of culture and lifestyle and thus are entitled to elegant, artistic packaging. The influence of aesthetics and art on each label, correspond to our feeling for the wine.

We grow 85% Riesling in our vineyards in Rüdesheim and Rauenthal, which reflects a little piece of the Rheingau and German wine tradition. Riesling reflects its origin so honestly, a reflection of its surrounding environment and thus carries well deservingly the title “Queen of the grape varieties”.
