Weingut Josef Leitz is located in Rüdesheim, at the western end of the Rheingau. As the German Wine Guide notes, “Few in the Rheingau make finer wines than Leitz.”
This family estate is run by Johannes Leitz, who took over what was then a 2.6 hectare property in 1985, aged just 21, and grew it to 43 hectares.
It was the Rheingau that “established Germany’s reputation for world class white wines” (Hugh Johnson) and The Boar bears this out. Ironically its named after the wild boar that are far too fond of guzzling the grapes that ripen so perfectly on the south facing slopes of the vineyard. Chill down and enjoy this zesty, poised, citrusy white on its own, or with gentle dishes of grilled fish, other seafood, tangy noodles or tasty salads.

Germany has always produced some of the world's finest Rieslings. With the help of slightly warmer temperatures, German winemakers have perfected a dry style of wine too. As this fine white proves, they can be gloriously zingy with brilliant, ripe apple, peach and lemon fruit, undercut by intense mineral poise. This classic dry Riesling from historic Rheinhessen was made by Dominik Meyer at the award winning Niersteiner Weingossenschaft, founded in 1930.
It's from the wonderfully ripe 2022 vintage, too, so there's ample fruit to savour too. Whether enjoyed as an aperitif or as a partner to fish, spicy Asian food or pork, it's undeniably delicious. So pour a glass, breathe in the vibrant apple, peach and lime fruit and freshness, and sip.
