LEITZ 
Under the direction of Johannes Leitz, Weingut Josef Leitz has earned the reputation of being one of Rheingau’s top growers and moreover, one of the finest producers in Germany. Since taking over his family estate in 1985, Johannes has grown his holdings from 2.6 hectares to over 40, most of which are Grand Cru sites on the slopes of the Rüdesheimer Berg. Once the home of some of the world’s most sought after and expensive wines, the region fell to mediocrity in the years following the Second World War. Josi has made it his life’s work to reclaim the intrinsic quality of his native terroir and introduce the world to the true potential of the Rheingau.
TASTING NOTES
“Lively, tangy, fragrant. The Riesling itself is a beautiful balance of sweet fruit and lively acidity. On the nose you can expect lemondrops, peach stone, tangy lime and wildflowers atop crunchy green apples. The palate is undeniably off-dry on the entry with similar, lime, green apple and honeyed flavours. It has excellent concentration and focus with a long, tangy and mouthwatering finish to clean up.” – Daenna Van Mulligen, The Wine Diva, January, 14th, 2016 (2014 vintage, 2015 not yet rated)
