Eins Zwei Dry is a witty, crisp and truly refreshing Riesling from the brilliant Weingut Leitz. They’re one of a handful in Germany leading the way to bring fine Riesling back into fashion. Lime spiked and apple fresh, this is dry and crisply fruity.

Weingut Josef Leitz is located in Rüdesheim at the western end of the Rheingau. As the German Wine Guide notes, “Few in the Rheingau make finer wines than Leitz.” This family estate is run by Johannes Leitz, who took over what was then a 2.6 hectare property in 1985, aged just 21, and grew it to 43 hectares. It was the Rheingau that “established Germany’s reputation for world class white wines” (Hugh Johnson) and Eins Zwei Dry is a wonderful modern ambassador for the region. Named with a refreshing Teutonic sense of fun, this tasty, dry Riesling is a light hearted, crisp, elegant white. With scents of apple, apricot and lime blossom, it’s very food friendly – it’s specially good with pan-fried fish or Waldorf salad – or enjoy it on its own.
