✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the legendary, sun-drenched slopes of the Rüdesheimer Berg, the Berg Roseneck Riesling Spätlese is a masterclass in Rheingau tension and elegance. The vineyard's name, meaning 'corner of roses,' refers to the wild dog roses that historically clung to the steep, rocky slate outcrops overlooking the Rhine River. Here, the combination of quartz, quartzite, and weathered slate soils, coupled with the river's light-reflecting mirror effect, coaxes an extraordinary depth of flavor from the Riesling grapes. Weingut Leitz captures this unique terroir by allowing the fruit to hang late into the autumn, achieving the perfect late-harvest concentration required for a classic Spätlese. The resulting wine is celebrated for its brilliant interplay of luscious, honeyed peach and exotic fruit sweetness balanced by a piercing, mineral-driven acidity that keeps the palate incredibly fresh and vibrant.
🍾 About the Producer
With family viticultural heritage in Rüdesheim tracing back to 1744, Weingut Leitz began a dynamic modern era when Johannes Leitz took helm of the family estate in 1985. Through uncompromising dedication to quality, he transformed a modest 2.9-hectare holding into an internationally celebrated powerhouse focused on prime steep-slope parcels across the Rüdesheimer Berg, including iconic grand cru sites such as Berg Schlossberg, Berg Roseneck, and Berg Rottland. The estate's philosophy emphasizes meticulous vineyard stewardship and gentle cellar intervention to capture the slate- and quartzite-rich terroir with absolute purity and energy. Weingut Leitz is globally acclaimed for its multifaceted range of Rieslings, spanning razor-sharp dry single-vineyard bottlings, luxurious noble sweet Trockenbeerenauslese and Eiswein expressions, as well as refined Pinot Noirs and sparkling wines.
