Light Yellow, no visual sign of it’s age. The balance of the wine is so perfect, light and elegant body, nice fruits, not primarily just peach, but also nice flavours of ripe pineapple and red apples. All in perfect harmony with it’s mineral aspects and fresh acidity. This is an perfect example of the vineyard and the winemaker. An elegant and in a positiv way light wine, that’s mineral terroir notes are in a amazing balance with fruit, acidity and sweetness.

100% Riesling from the Magdalenenkreuz (the cross of Mary Magdalene) vineyard on the east side of Rüdesheim am Rhein. Gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel 4-5 months. 7.5% Abv. Res. Sugar: 72.4 g/L Proprietor/Winemaker: Johannes "Josie" Leitz
A(ccuray)=2: Light lemon/yellow. Discretely aromatic varietal. B(alance)=3: Distinctive components in harmony. C(omplexity)=2: Ripe tree fruits, citrus, mineral. D(epth)=1: Vibrant mouthfeel. Average length and finish.
Wine Tally Score [2,3,2,1] = 8/10
A restrained and refined Spätlese.

Light yellow. Tropical fruit and bitter citrus. Quite elegant weight for a Rheingau Spatlese. Off dry, ripe entry followed by slate and excellent acidity. Surprisingly open and very enjoyable at this early stage.
