The Boar Riesling 2025

Lively, crisp, dry Riesling from Weingut Leitz, a leading cellar in Germany’s Rheingau region
It was the Rheingau region that “established Germany’s reputation for world-class white wines” (Hugh Johnson) and The Boar bears this out. It’s a delightfully crisp, lemon and lime-scented dry Riesling from one of the region’s top estates.

The Boar Riesling is a delightfully crisp, citrusy, dry Riesling from one of Germany’s leading estates – Weingut Leitz.

\n

Leitz is located in Rüdesheim at the western end of the Rheingau and as The German Wine Guide notes, “Few in the Rheingau make finer wines than Leitz”. The winery itself was hit by a bomb in WW2 and had to be rebuilt from scratch by Josef Leitz. Today, it is run by his grandson, Johannes Leitz, who took over the property in 1985.

It gets its name from the wild boar that are fond of guzzling the grapes that ripen so perfectly on the south-facing slopes of the vineyard. And who can blame them! Chill down and enjoy this zesty, citrus-crisp white on its own, or with dishes of grilled fish, lightly spiced noodles or tasty salads.
