What to Expect

Few white wines have achieved the fame that Riesling has in Germany. Its ability to produce a wide range of styles, from bone dry to lusciously sweet, in an even wider range of climates has made it the grape of Germany. Riesling in Germany can range from the steely, piercing wines of the Saar to the round, opulent peachy wines one typically finds in the Nahe and the Pfaltz. Every region is capable of producing both dry and sweet versions though there is a movement towards drier wines that has taken hold throughout many regions.

<ul type='square'><li>2003 Weingut Josef Leitz Rüdesheimer Magdalenenkreuz Riesling Spätlese - Germany, Rheingau (2/19/2007) Overwhelming aroma of minerals upon opening. After allowing to sit for about 40 minutes, nice floral and mild citrusy characters begin to shine through. Delicious, well rounded flavor profile with tropical fruits and minerals, dirt, and a very zesty acidity. High sugar levels, but not "sweet". Very nice wine . . . will be holding on to my remaining bottles long term to see how they read more...
