Rüdesheimer Riesling trocken - Weingut Josef Leitz

In the glass, the Rüdesheimer Riesling from Weingut Josef Leitz offers a bright light yellow color. The bouquet of this white wine from the Rheingau seduces with notes of mirabelle plum, ripe apple and peach. Following the aromas further, mineral notes emerge.

This wine tastes pleasantly dry. It was bottled with 5.8 grams of residual sugar. This is a real quality wine that clearly stands out from simpler qualities and thus, with all its dryness, this German wine delights with the finest balance. Excellent flavor does not necessarily need a lot of sugar. Balanced and complex, this crisp white wine presents itself on the palate. Thanks to its lively fruit acidity, the Rüdesheimer Riesling appears impressively fresh and vibrant on the palate. On the finish, this youthful wine from the Rheingau region finally delights with considerable length. Again, hints of mirabelle plum and ripe apple appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the loess and limestone dominated soils are added.

Vinification of the Rüdesheimer Riesling from Weingut Josef Leitz

The balanced Rüdesheimer Riesling from Germany is a single-varietal wine, vinified from the Riesling grape variety. In the Rheingau, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils of limestone and loess. After hand-picking, the grapes are brought to the winery immediately. There they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine is allowed to mature for several months on the fine lees before it is finally bottled.
