Leitz Rüdesheimer Berg Rottland Old Vines Riesling Dry Gold Capsule 2006

Leitz Rüdesheimer Berg Rottland Alte Reben Riesling Trocken Goldkapsel 2006 This wine is the result of the specific work of the Leitz winery from the Rheingau. The producer focuses on detailed research of individual vineyards and uses particularly old vines in the Rottland area. This growth phase promotes extract density and ensures an intense aromatic expression within the pressed material. The Goldkapsel (gold capsule) designation signals a higher quality threshold compared to the winery's basic versions and emphasizes its exclusivity. Experts recognize the importance of old root systems for the minerality and longevity of the bottle.

The sensory analysis reveals a clear structure with dominant minerality and fruity nuances of stone fruit. A fresh acid balance underlines the drinking pleasure and prevents any intrusive pressure from ripeness. Although the vintage is now established, it still shows enough vitality for current consumption or further development. Perfect gastronomic combinations are ideally found with steamed seafood and light poultry, preferably garnished with light herb sauces. A quiet ambiance and crystal-clear glass allow the nuances of bottle aging and the complexity of the terroir to come into their own.
