White

Berg Roseneck is Leitz's steepest site, at up to 62°. The vines grow on weathered quartzite and slate just to the west of Rüdesheim, in the Rheingau. At six years old now, this example has a lovely pure and direct nose of mineral and citrus, and is just starting to develop a honeyed edge. The palate combines creamy wood, stone fruit, baked apple, sweet and savoury spices and a mineral tang, all pulled together and balanced by the linear, lime juice acidity. Complex, relatively full and absolutely delicious.
