Magic Mountain Riesling trocken - Josef Leitz

The Magic Mountain Riesling by Josef Leitz reveals a brilliantly shimmering pale yellow color in the glass. When swirling the wine in the glass, this white wine stands out with a delightful lightness that lets it dance lively in the glass. Poured into a white wine glass, this Old World white wine offers wonderfully expressive aromas of pear, Quince, Nashi pear, and apple, rounded off with additional fruity nuances.

On the palate, the Magic Mountain Riesling by Josef Leitz opens with a wonderfully aromatic, fruit-forward, and balanced profile. Despite its dry taste profile, this white wine captivates with a delicate melt and elegantly integrated residual sweetness. Its distinctive fruit acidity makes the Magic Mountain Riesling seem incredibly fresh and lively on the palate. The finish finally impresses with a remarkable length, characteristic of this youthful wine from the Rheingau wine region. Again, notes of Nashi pear and apple emerge. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the soils dominated by loess and clay also become apparent.

Vinification of the Magic Mountain Riesling by Josef Leitz

This wine clearly emphasizes one grape variety, namely Riesling. Only first-class harvests are used for this exceptionally elegant, pure varietal wine by Josef Leitz. In the Rheingau, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils of clay and loess. The Magic Mountain Riesling is an Old World wine through and through, as this German wine exudes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underscores the success of wines from the Old World. After hand harvesting, the grapes are immediately transferred to the winery. Here, they are sorted and gently crushed. The fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the Magic Mountain Riesling can harmonize further for several months on the fine lees.

Food pairing recommendations for the Magic Mountain Riesling by Josef Leitz

This white wine from Germany should preferably be enjoyed well chilled at 8 - 10°C. It pairs perfectly as an accompaniment to potato pan with salmon, cod with cucumber-mustard vegetables, or grilled trout with ginger pear.
