2006 Rudesheimer Riesling Kabinett, J. Leitz, Rheingau

"Johannes Leitz's wine is of Kabinett designation, with 30 grams of residual sugar, but relatively high alcohol and all the extract that one would expect from the Rheingau. Lime, slate, then hints of fig and manderin underline the complexity here. A splendid wine, Rheingau Riesling at its best. 2006 was indeed the year of perfect months of July and early September. Johannes is one of those ensuring that German wines reclaim their rightful place in the vinous hierarchy." (Simon Field MW-BBR Buyer)
