Leitz Eins-Zwei-Zero Riesling

The Leitz EINS-ZWEI-ZERO offers an original character that is clean and fresh with notes of lime and citrus; surprisingly rhubarb and a little hint of red apples on an underlying mineral base. The finish is dry and relatively long.

Winemaking dates back to 1744 for the Leitz family in Rüdesheim, Germany. After a bomb destroyed their winery during the Second World War, Josef Leitz was forced to rebuild the small business to support his family. After some years, his grandson Johannes Leitz would eventually take over and build it into the conscious empire we see today, including a full-fledged alcohol-free collection aptly named, Eins Zwei Zero.

Winemaking: Made with the same grapes and care that go into the Leitz award-winning “regular” Rieslings and Pinot Noirs, the fully fermented wines then are gently de-alcoholised through a low temperature vacuum distillation process. The low temperatures mean that the alcohol can be removed without losing the important natural aromas and remarkable properties of of the terroir.
