Leitz Ein Zwei Zero Rosé is something as rare as a non-alcoholic wine that actually tastes like wine. It is made from Merlot, Pinot Noir and Blauer Portugieser grapes, and undergoes gentle de-alcoholisation via vacuum distillation, preserving as much flavor and character from the grapes as possible. Although alcohol-free alternatives do not have the depth and weight that we know from “real” wine, Ein Zwei Zero is so fresh, crisp and mouth-watering, supported by a great acidity, that you do not miss anything in the structure.
Colour: Light pink.
Smell: Inviting aromas of strawberry, currant and grape.
Tasting notes: Almost sparkling, with a sweet taste of raspberry, citrus and currant.
Serving suggestion: Enjoy it chilled, e.g. with spicy Asian dishes.
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 Schloβberg, Berg Rottland, Berg Roseneck and Berg Kaisersteinfels, all four of which enjoy the highest possible classification and recognition in Germany’s hierarchy.
