and genuinely fresh — a red that stays useful all year
structured reading of the vintage and is still very much a wine for the cellar: highly perfumed
this is a Grenache-led blend rounded out with Syrah and Mourvedre
Comptoir is the personal project of David Castleberry

Georg Breuer Riesling Trocken Terra Montosa 2023 RFLASH and genuinely fresh — aA "baby Grand Cru" wine blending their five Grand Cru vineyards in Schlossberg, Rottland, and Lorch, and aged slightly less than the top wines. The name means "steep earth" and references a document from 1074 describing the incredibly severe slopes of the the Rdesheim vineyards. This is a dry, waxy, steely, lemony wine with subtle fruit that overdelivers every vintage. Perfect with seafood, raw dishes, or alpine cheeses, this is a wine to drink now
