Leitz Rüdesheimer Klosterlay Riesling Kabinett is a beautifully crafted wine that embodies the charm of the Rheingau. Produced by the renowned Leitz winery, it originates from the historic Klosterlay vineyard, nestled beneath the Benedictine Abbey of St. Hildegard. This south-facing site benefits from loess and loam soils, which lend elegance and vibrancy to the wine. Crafted with sustainable Fair 'N Green practices, the Riesling is harvested at optimal ripeness, gently whole-cluster pressed, and fermented cool in stainless steel to preserve its fresh, fruity character. Designed as a quintessential Kabinett, this wine is a perfect balance of tradition, terroir, and meticulous winemaking, offering an approachable yet sophisticated expression of the Rüdesheimer landscape.
