Leitz Eins Zwei Dry Riesling (750ml)

The grapes for EINS-ZWEI-DRY were harvested in our vineyards in the middle and east Rheingau.  The soils are predominantly composed of profound loess loam; several parts contain marly soil from the Tertiary period and an intense gravel blend close to the city of Oestrich.  The water capacity of the soils is very high so there is an excellent distribution of water and nutritive substances even in hot years. The grapes were harvested the last week in September 2022 at a Spätlese level of ripeness (“late harvest”) to achieve the best balance between fully ripened fruit and acidity.  The grapes were pressed gently immediately following the harvest and fermented in stainless steel.  The final wine has just 7.5g/L of residual sugar and on the palate comes across as dry.
