Leitz Riesling Rüdesheimer Berg Rottland Hinterhaus Grosses Gewächs 2015
White
Rheingau, Germany

WineSaint
Smoke, slate, and sharply herbal notes come through with striking clarity, carried on an exceptionally long finish that lets the Rottland Hinterhaus site speak without distortion. It lacks the pungent intensity of the Berg Roseneck or the textural gloss and saline drive of the Schlossberg, but what it offers instead is refinement and a kind of focused, resonant purity that rewards patience. Beautifully composed.
