2017 Rüdesheimer Berg Schlossberg Ehrenfels Grosses Gewächs, Leitz, Rheingau

This is really fine, with lovely balance. It’s so well woven together: big and broad but also with nerve. A generous style of Riesling, but also with elegance and finesse on the finish.

2017 Rüdesheimer Berg Schlossberg Ehrenfels Grosses Gewächs, Leitz, Rheingau
Weingut Leitz

Johannes Leitz is perhaps best known for his tiny 1.2 hectare monopole Rüdesheimer Rosengarten GG (Grosses Gewächs, i.e.Grand Cru) in the heart of the Rheingau. He’s based in Rüdesheim, a picturesque town on the bank of the Rhine river, and Rosengarten is its oldest vineyard, planted since the ninth century. Leitz has grown the concern from 2 hectares to over forty since taking over from his father in 1985, bringing international renown for the winery along the way, deservedly so.
