Professional reviews:
Vinous: “Pear and lime are marked by seed piquancy on the nose. The midpalate impression is of stimulating piquancy, pithy concentration and underlying firmness. To an even more striking extent than with this year’s village-designated wines, alkaline, stony and mouthwateringly saline traces seem to be deposited almost indelibly on the finish, although attended by a bit less clarity, buoyancy (despite just 12% alcohol) or sheer juiciness. This year’s “Terra Montosa” is almost exclusively Rüdesheimer Berg, as the estate’s Rauenthal vines performed so well that most of their fruit was retained for the two Rauenthal-specific bottlings.” 90/100 pts
Georg Breuer: “The name “Terra Montosa” comes from Latin “steep land” found in a certificate dated 1074, which records the original wine growing history of the vineyards in the Rüdesheim slopes.”
