"Leitz's austere 2001 Riesling Spatlese Trocken Rudesheimer Berg Schlossberg has a fascinating, almost gothic personality. It reveals aromas reminiscent of smoky hot stones splashed with herb-laced water in a sauna. A powerful wine, it coats the palate with liquid dusty gravel. Medium-bodied and silky-textured, this offering demands contemplation. To understand it one must imagine what wine would best be served while visiting a fog-filled cemetery from a scene in a Stephen King movie."

The spiritual home of Riesling, producing wines of piercing acidity, precision and longevity across a spectrum from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. Cool, steep-sloped vineyards along the Mosel and Rhine yield some of the world's most delicate, long-lived whites.
A historic Riesling region along the Rhine, producing racier, often drier wines of structure and mineral depth from south-facing slopes.
A highly aromatic white of piercing acidity and transparency to terroir, ranging from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. It ages remarkably and is the noble grape of Germany and Alsace.
