2023 Leitz Eins Zwei Dry "3" Rheingau Riesling Dry

Eins Zwei Dry is the riesling that has always provided an elevated entry point into the Leitz world of wine. This wine is a cross-section of various Rheingau loess and clay soils with an appealing, dry character. The wine is characterized by effusive aromatics and mineral structure, though supple with fruit and cool lees enrichment.

Under the direction of Johannes Leitz, Weingut Josef Leitz has earned the reputation of being one of Rheingau’s top growers and moreover, one of the finest producers in Germany. Since taking over his family estate in 1985, Johannes has grown his holdings from 2.6 hectares to over 40, most of which are Grand Cru sites on the slopes of the Rüdesheimer Berg. Once the home of some of the world’s most sought after and expensive wines, the region fell to mediocrity in the years following the Second World War. Josi has made it his life’s work to reclaim the intrinsic quality of his native terroir and introduce the world to the true potential of the Rheingau.
