Leitz Magic Mountain Rüdesheim Dry Riesling 2018 Description
The nose is fresh and pure with exotic hints, chamomile and lemon zest. It promises a delicate body with a slight creaminess and shows on the palate an amazing mineral impact with a wonderful texture and a rather long finish. You will find a cool minerality beside the appealing fruit. The exotic fruits, such as lychee, mango, papaya and very subtle hints of passion fruit, create with the mellow impact of yeast an awesome impact on the nose. The Magic Mountain excites your mouth through its delicate minerality and nuances of ripe apples, mirabelle and peach. The subtle herbal characteristics that are so typical for the Rüdesheim mountains are also recognisable.
This exceptional 2018 vintage from the renowned Leitz estate showcases the distinctive character of the Rüdesheim terroir. Its vibrant acidity and mineral-driven profile ensure excellent ageing potential, developing greater depth and sophistication over the next 5-7 years. A true expression of German Riesling craftsmanship, this wine rewards both immediate enjoyment and patient cellaring.
The wine's elegant structure and complexity make it an ideal pairing with seafood, light poultry dishes, and Asian cuisine.
