Leitz was originally a family-owned winery that nobody know about until Johannes Leitz, who was at that time only 21 years old, made his first vintage in 1985. His dream and vision is to make the finest terroir-driven Rieslings. Starting with only 3 hectares, Johannes has steadily been acquiring all the top vineyards including the best sites on the Rüdesheim Mountain, the Berg Schlossberg, Berg Roseneck, Berg Rottland and Berg Kaisersteinfels, all with rocky soil rich with mineral. Since his reign, the quality of wines soars and now the Leitz winery is regarded internationally and nationally as one of the best in the Rheingau.
