Leitz Rheingau Riesling

Tasting Notes The Weingut Josef Leitz Rheingau Riesling is a 100% Riesling white wine that showcases the precise, terroir-driven profile of Germany's historic Rheingau region. This celebrated varietal is universally defined by its signature high, linear acidity, intense mineral structure, and low-to-moderate alcohol levels that typically sit between 11.5% and 12% ABV. Handled with minimal intervention in the cellar, the wine emphasizes a pure expression of native slate and quartzite soils over heavy-handed winemaking techniques. On the nose, the wine delivers an intense and precisely defined bouquet of green apple, ripe apricot, and juicy nectarine. These primary aromas are underscored by a touch of citrus zest, white blossoms, and a cool, wet-stone minerality. The palate is light-bodied, taut, and deeply refreshing, carrying flavors of white peach, honeyed pear, and occasional hints of tropical pineapple. A crisp, driving acidity carries these clean fruit notes into a long, vibrant finish, where a signature flinty dryness and subtle herbal undertones linger on the tongue. 750ml
