Eins-Zwei-Dry Riesling is the perfect introduction to Weingut Leitz’s style. The grapes come from fields around Geisenheim, Hattenheim and Erbach in the Rheingau. Eins-Zwei-Dry is complex and elegant with delicate freshness and fruity notes of citrus and stone fruit, minerality, lively acidity and a tiny touch of sweetness. Quite simply perfect balance and remarkably high quality for a “standard wine”!
Colour: Light golden.
Aroma: Crisp, green apple, stone fruit and candied citrus.
Tasting notes: In the taste, a perfect balance between sweetness and acid – although definitely dry – with notes of grapefruit, peach and lemon peel.
Serving suggestions: Perfect for fish, shellfish or sushi.
Johannes Leitz took over the family winery from his father in 1999, having been in charge of the winemaking since 1985. Under Johannes’ ownership, Leitz has only gone one way – up! The quality has increased from good to world class and they have managed to expand the fields with some of the best parcels around the town of Rüdesheim.
The hillside west of and immediately around Rüdesheim is one of the most magical terroirs in the entire world for the production of wines from the Riesling grape – and thus one of the most magical terroirs in the entire world for the production of white wine!
This is where we find, among others, the parcels Berg Schloßberg, Berg Rottland, Berg Roseneck and Berg Kaisersteinfels, all four of which enjoy the highest possible classification and recognition in Germany’s hierarchy.
