Leitz Riesling Rüdesheimer Rosengarten Monopol Grosses Gewächs 2021

WineSaint

Citrus blossom and wet slate open with a purity that signals serious intent. Taut and focused, the wine carries citrus oil, crushed stone, and a faint saline thread through a long, driven finish. The Rosengarten Monopol site is clearly the story here, the concentration and directness feel site-specific rather than winemaker-imposed. Give it five years minimum to fully unwind.
