Riesling ribbe marinade. Parfymert lukt med grønne epler. Grønne epler på smak også. Enkelt og godt håntverk

2020 vintage

Color: Light yellow. Nose: Flint stone, juice from canned pine apples. Mouth: Rather light. Very good expressiveness and length. Very juicy and lean. Bone-dry. Only 12% alc. A hint of grapefruit in the finish.

Terrific little dry Riesling, certainly much better than the undeserved low scores the other commenters have given it. Dry Rieslings are kind of an acquired taste, one that I've only recently discovered. I'm happy to say that the other 5 tasters I enjoyed this with, all wine lovers but not necessarily aficionados, agreed that they liked the wine. Perfect as an aperitif.

Simple Riesling, lacking depth. A few off notes for me, like sour fruit, sour apple. Not a fan of this. We ended up using most of it as a cooking wine.

2020 vintage

Back up til sushi. Aromatisk lukt med smågodt og eple. Frisk og fruktig smak med sitronsyre

2020 vintage

Nice easy drinking Riesling. Well balanced and pleasant.

2020 vintage

clear pale lemon color. clean, medium intensity nose of apple, lemon, lime, apricot, wet stones, and biscuit. dry, high acid, med(-) alcohol, med(-) body, medium intensity flavors similar to the nose. medium(-) finish. good quality, ready to drink, but has potential for 3-5 years of aging. somewhat simple and finishes short, but pleasant flavors, fairly well balanced, and aromas and flavors that show typicity.

The pear was really prounounced on this bottle with an almost cordial-like concentration followed by heaps of elderflower and lime. There is a real earthiness to this Riesling that takes you from great heights of fruit to something deep and profound. Unfortunately the acidity has become a bit reticent to balance this earthiness, which for me is a shame as it would add an extra dimension of freshness.

2013 vintage

Compared to the 2012 this was too lean and acidic.

2013 vintage

Just acidity and neutral hints of fruit. Knep in cellar a year or two and hope for that magic to happening. ..

2013 vintage

Mineral, citrus nose. Some rubber. Palate is very dry, high acid, lean, steely, a bit tough. Citrus, grapefruit, mineral, stone, crushed rocks. I think some residual sugar on this could work well.

2013 vintage

Delicious dry-style Riesling with a real green apple and lime zest quality. Hints of elderflower, pear, and a sharp mineral edge. Still very young, will improve. An ideal aperitif or match with crab.

2013 vintage

2013 Leitz (SF Wine Trading Company) : Medium yellow. Floral. Lime fruit. Powerful, dry, and herbal with excellent acidity and texture.

2013 vintage

Clear pale lemon with slight watery green fluctuation towards the rim. Legs slow and quite thick though well defined and shapely. On the nose, pithy lemon, yellow grapefruit, under ripe apricot and unripe yellow plum. Hints of herbs, lemon thyme/balm, with a touch of new lylo and some mineral salts. Similar palate, lemon pith and under ripe stone fruit, crisp acidity, taut quartzy/steeliness. Lingering honeysuckle on the mid palate going into the finish with a decent length. I found this …

2013 vintage

Honey, lime. banana. For a basic Qba trocken this is really good. Can't get exited about it though, but that's more when comparing to the other Leitz bottles on offer tonight.

2013 vintage

Made from a blend of Leitz 3 top vineyards. Intense aromas of honey and tropical fruit. Lively acidity, pure clean fruit, minerality, great concentration and a lovely balanced finish. Could really become sensational for a wine priced about 20 USD! Strongly recommended.

2013 vintage

Schöne, fruchtige Rieslingnase nach Steinobst. Am Gaumen zuerst fruchtig, frisch aber sehr kurz, leicht bitteres Finale...

2013 vintage

Tasted together with von Winnings trocken 2013 and Kung-Fu Girl. This scored highest and was most approachable despite its young age. Semi-dry only. Very nice but no wow factor.

2013 vintage

Another solid wine from Leitz. Great wine!

2013 vintage

Nice, if unexceptional, with crisp acidity and citrus and tropical fruit notes. This drinks a bit more like a Sauvignon Blanc than a traditional reisling, perhaps driven by the dry style.

2011 vintage

Medium lemon, relatively viscous @12% abv. Medium-medium(+) aromas of tropical fruits, petrole, lemon. Dry, medium-medium(+) acidity, medium body and alcohol. Medium flavors of lemon, rhubarb, green apple. Medium length racy and crispy finish. For a riesling the acidity and texture is substantial, at the expensive of elegance.

2011 vintage

very rich, some sweetness

2013 vintage

Juicy, fun, brilliantly expressive and fruity wine with plenty of rock and herb to round it out. Great qpr.

2013 vintage

Decent and good value for what it is. Simple mineral nose, maybe a bit of lime. Decent finish. Among the better trocken QBA's. But doesn't compare well to my recent experience with Donnhoff's trocken QBA for only a few dollars more, which changed my attitude toward trocken QBAs.

2013 vintage

Medium (-) intensity nose of lime, green apples, slate with hints of apricot. Dry, Medium (-) bodied, high refreshing acidity. Lime with stoney minerals on the palate. Quite a long length. Refreshing on a hot summer's evening.

2013 vintage

To much carbonic acid that overwhelmed the wine. Should have aerated it more. Fresh and crisp. Scent of citrus and pears. Dry taste with hints of pears, citrus and concentrated fruitiness.

2011 vintage

Dry Riesling wines (Houston, TX) : Savory aromas with some peach fruit, followed up by granny smith apples, lemon and peach pit on the palate. Good QPR for a Rheingau riesling though lacking some complexity.

2011 vintage

Decent reisling which went well with food. Dry with plenty of acidic lime, green apples and metallic minerals. Shortish length.

2011 vintage

Pale yellow color; lifted, very tart apple, slate nose; savory, celery jus, celery salt, mineral palate; medium-plus finish

2013 vintage

Only had a glass of this in a restaurant this week and although it was neither particularly memorable nor impressive, it clearly is a nice, well-made bone-dry example of good value German Riesling with nice grapefruit and lime notes, good acidity and a great mineral backbone. Great with food.

2011 vintage

Bright and shimmering with lemon and honey notes and minerality. It could use more time in the cellar.

2011 vintage

A very nice, drinkable German Riesling. Not awesome or overly complex but has a very nice bouquet and is smooth and dry. For the price it's a pretty good find for an everyday Riesling.

2011 vintage

What's not to like? Great price for a clean, bright Riesling with great sour apple and citrus tastes and fantastic acid. Drank much better the second day than the first.

2011 vintage

I liked this less and less as we drank it. Not a bad Riesling by any stretch, but nothing interesting to me. Grapefruit and tart apple. The wife noticed a touch of effervescence at first. Decent with food. (Best with a tiny hint of fennel seeds and cumin seeds toasted last night.)

2011 vintage

Lots to like about this wine, especially the price. Dry, with great acidity and tart apple and pear. Long lean and focused. Not very complex, but it does what it does well at a great qpr.

2011 vintage

Not my favorite vintage of this wine, it strikes me as a tad soft and lacking in fruit. Perversely, it even seems off-dry to me tonight.

2011 vintage

Schmelzig, Quitte, Stachelbeere

2011 vintage

WXTP Tasting IV - 2010 and 2011 German QbA Rieslings (Brad's Place) : Not bad. This showed a refreshing nose of grapefruit, lime and slate, with a hint of fresh flowers and a nice minerally touch. It was bone dry on the palate and very steely, with an almost metallic minerality and bright acids racing through simple white fruit and citrus flavours. With time, a touch of stone-fruit peeked out as well, finishing in a mouthwatering back-palate. Quite simple, a …

2011 vintage

No formal notes. This was a very well made basic German riesling, juicy and easy drinking but with some nice mineral notes and acidity as well. Perfect for a good meal with friends when you want quality wine without feeling bad for not thinking too much about it. Good value.

2011 vintage

Crisp green apple and mineral aromas. Palate shows ripe and mineral. Really easy balance makes this a bit of a dry Riesling with training wheels on.

2011 vintage

Nice, crisp Riesling; very tasty wine at a very good price.

2011 vintage

Good dry German riesling. Works at $15 or so.

2011 vintage

In the beginning just a little bit sparkling. Pear and melon in the bouquet. On the palate pear as well, pleasant and firm acidity, but also not bone dry. Touch of minerals. Easy to like.

2011 vintage

Spring 2012 Terry Theise/WineWise/The Vienna Wine Co Tasting Part I: Germany (The General's Residence, Fort Mason, San Francisco, California) : Very light yellow color; tart pear nose; austere, very tart pear, chalk palate medium-plus finish 88+ points
