✨ Technical Specifications
The Rüdesheimer Berg Roseneck vineyard takes its poetic name from the wild roses ('Rosen') that historically clung to the steep, rocky outcrops ('Eck') overlooking the Rhine River. This south-facing grand cru site is characterized by its extreme slopes and a complex soil composition of quartzite, slate, and loess. Weingut Leitz's dry (Trocken) expression from this vineyard beautifully captures this unique terroir. The wine is fermented and aged primarily in stainless steel to preserve its crystalline purity, resulting in a Riesling of immense depth, vibrant acidity, and a distinct flinty minerality. It weaves a sensory tale of white peach, citrus zest, and delicate floral undertones, reflecting the historic grandeur of the Rheingau's most dramatic slopes.
🍾 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.
