Weingut Josef Leitz
Rüdesheimer Berg Schloßberg Alte Reben Riesling
Rheingau, Germany
APPEARANCE Clear Pale Lemon color. NOSE Clean Pronounced aromas of petrol, slate, stone fruit, yellow delicious apple and lighter citrus tones. PALATE Dry sweetness, High acid and No tannin with Full body and flavours of petrol and slate that dominate the palate with structural minerality, while sweet lemon and stone fruit notes gain depth on the palate which last for Long length on the finish. CONCLUSIONS Outstanding quality. Awesome stuff, best #riesling for me in a while.

Delicious dry Riesling, pale gold in colour, great acidic core, powerful and powdery mouthfeel. Slate, citrus, white peaches and a touch of spun sugar.
Gorgeous.

Gorgeous.
Both mineral and rich in texture. Golden hue. Deep fruit notes, apricot, candied oranges and pineapple juice.
Saline and stony. Spicy and sweaty.
Good acidic veins run right through the long and bittersweet finish.

Wow! This is oil and rubber galore! Beautiful sunny hay color. Very mineral, very trocken. Fantastic fruity back-up with honey, white blooming flowers and a touch of mint. This is warm sunny relaxed summer in a glass. In love!

Feb 11th, 2015Thick, ripe, almost marmelade-like. Peach-yoghurt, bruised apples, pine apple, smoke and slate. Massive structure, some sweetness left, great complexity. Could have used some more acidity. Better served cold than cool IMHO.
