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.
Very clear and precise, with stony and discreet, rather coolish fruit aromas on the nose opens the 2014 Rüdesheimer Berg Roseneck Riesling Spätlese. Medium-bodied, juicy, lovely, piquant and salty, this is an elegant and well structured, grippy Riesling that is still young but has very good aging potential. This is a typical, light, piquant, light-hearted and frisky Rheingau Riesling.
