2012 Leitz Germans are in stock



More great news from the 2012 Vintage
We have told you about Burgundy, Oregon and even Chateauneuf du Pape having superb vintages in 2012, well lets add Germany to the list. The 2012 Vintage in Germany has been rated 96 Points by the Wine Spectator, the wines have a great deal of acidity and will last for ages but have the fruit concentration to be enjoyed in their youth. 







2012 Leitz Rudesheimer Berg Roseneck Riesling "Katerloch"...$39.99
Shows fine extraction and intensity to the pure-tasting grapefruit, white currant and gooseberry flavors. Light and smoky midpalate, with an ironclad structure and a long finish filled with mineral, spice and savory herb details. A powerful and refined dry-style Riesling. Drink now through 2018. 56 cases imported. –KM
Rated 93/100 The Wine Spectator



2012 Leitz Rudesheimer Berg Roseneck Spatlese....$41.99
Seductive aromas of mango, banana, sweet herbs and honey. Rich, spicy tropical fruit flavors show a vague hint of botrytis and creamy depth. Certainly a touch on the sweet side, but nicely balanced and intriguingly long, this is one of the best spätleses of the vintage. 94 points
Rated 94/100 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
