The Story Behind the Bottle
Weingut Josef Leitz is located in Rüdesheim at the western end of the Rheingau, a region which “established Germany’s reputation for world-class white wines” wrote Hugh Johnson. The German Wine Guide notes, “Few in the Rheingau make finer wines than Leitz.” This family estate is now run by Johannes Leitz, who took over what was then a 2.9-hectare property in 1985, aged just 21, and grew it to the 140 hectares he has today. The winery itself had been hit by a bomb in WW2, so was rebuilt from scratch by Johannes’s grandfather. Leitz Pinot Blanc is a wonderful modern white from Johannes. Enjoy intense pear and papaya fruit, with a pleasing roundness from lees ageing. A satisfying white on its own or with a creamy fish pie or chicken.
