Weingut Leitz Grand Cru Riesling 'Berg Kaisersteinfels' GG 2022 75cl
£57.92
A glorious wine that comes from a sun trap with well-drained soil, bringing about incredible concentration and ripeness It offers up an intense bouquet of clementine oil, ripe peach, honey and clotted cream, leading to complex nuances of toast, mushroom, pipe tobacco and green leaves Despite being a dry wine, its intensity and complexity are reminiscent of Sauternes On the palate, it is much more delicate in texture than the rich aromas suggest, with a flawless, crystalline character and hints of muscat grapes and wet stones Fantastically persistent flavours on the finish Great now, and could age another 15-20 years

Weingut Leitz Grand Cru Riesling 'Berg Schlossberg' GG 2021 75cl
£36.10
A wine of true pedigree, this displays beautifully refined and complex aromas of beeswax, honey, white peach, frankincense and honeysuckle The aromas may suggest sweetness, but the palate is as dry and stony as the hillside on which the grapes are grown It has terrific intensity now, but if you can hold on to a few bottles for a few years, it will get even better The Berg Schlossberg vineyard lies at the western end of Rheingau, where the river takes a sharp turn to the north The dramatically steep slope, southerly exposure, superb drainage and protection from north winds by the Taunus Mountains make for an outstanding Grand Cru site - a challenge to cultivate, but the resulting wine makes the effort more than worth it
