Weingut Josef Leitz
Rüdesheimer Kirchenpfad Kabinett Riesling
Rheingau, Germany
Ah, the Weingut Josef Leitz Rüdesheimer Kirchenpfad Kabinett Riesling—a delightful gem hailing from the enchanting Rheingau region of Germany. With its poised elegance, it twirls on the palate like a ballerina wearing a sparkling tiara of floral and citrus notes, underpinned by a cascade of racy acidity. One might detect hints of lime zest, apple blossoms, and perhaps a whisper of honeysuckle, reminiscent of a sun-drenched meadow in full bloom.
Josef Leitz, the custodian of this ethereal wine, is known for his commitment to the purity of expression, almost as if he converses with the vines under a full moon—perhaps one day he'll succeed in enticing them to sing.
Interestingly, Riesling can age splendidly, often improving like a fine cheese; the secret lies in its high acidity and natural sweetness, which promise delightful complexity over the years.
Pair this nectar with spicy Asian cuisine or a creamy goat cheese; the refreshing acidity will cut through richness while complementing the spices, much like how a well-placed pun can save a dull evening.
This wine shines with praise; renowned critic James Suckling awarded it a shimmering 92 points.

Excellent Riesling which is extremely easy to drink. Very sweet, almost like fruit juice. Mild subtle sparkle. [Waitrose]
