Leitz Riesling Rüdesheimer Berg Roseneck Grosses Gewächs 2021

Lime zest, white flowers, and wet stone rise from the glass with striking immediacy, threaded through with a cool herbal undercurrent. Tightly wound on the palate, with a sinewy acidity that keeps everything in check, the depth here is hard-won, drawn from Berg Roseneck's punishing gradient. Austere and mineral-driven now, but there's real substance beneath the surface. Patience required; drink through 2031.
