Weingut Josef Leitz Rüdesheimer Drachenstein Riesling Dragonstone

Good acidity with plenty of fruit, well balanced with a nice touch of sweetness but still dry.

Solid wine for the price; simple. Agree with the tasting notes below so nothing new to add.

Sort of nutty, oily, and Chardonnay-like qualities on the nose. Off dry, but good acidity which mostly brings the sweetness in check.

On the nose apple, lime, petrol and floral notes. On the palate its off dry, high in acidity and offers a steely minerality and a hint of salinity that balances its sweetness perfectly. Mid to long finish.

Green Apple, loads of minerality/saline, lime pith, a bit of a steely quality. Feinherb to kabinett sweetness, balanced by medium-high acidity. Green fruit and lean character. Medium finish of juicy lime, green apple, and minerality. Good.

Riesling from Rüdesheimer Drachenstein (at 260m and 37*slope). A(ccuracy)=2: Pale lemon with green tint; mildly aromatic. B(alance) =2: Fruit forward, bit sweet though billed as "Dry". C(omplexity)=1: Straightforward with hint of peach, lychee. D(epth) =1: Average length and finish. WineTally Score [2,2,1,1]=6/10 More processed than distinctive, yet decent value.

Nose is subdued, terroir driven with mineral, gun powder, leesy scents and hints of Lime pith. There is a salty saline quality to the palate also mineral driven with green tart fruit profile. Herbs, high acid, not enough fruit to balance. leaning Feinherb rather dry compared to prior vintages. Bitter metallic grapefruit pith finish. Some vintages (2011) Josef Lietz makes the Dragon a delicious value and 15 year wine, 2015 isn’t one of those vintages. Rather disappointing. Purchased from retail …

Very aromatic, crisp and fresh with tart apple with hints of lemon and lime.

New years eve

Very good for its level. Quite sweet, but fresh. Very clean and bright. Some depth but not much complexity. Amazing combo with Brebirousse d'Argental (french cheese)

Still the same killer wine like past vintages. Really a benchmark riesling for the price. Not much can compare at this price point.

Labeled as 10% abv. Does not specify "Rudesheimer Drachenstein" on the label, but does say "Dragonstone." Straw to medium-gold color under different lighting conditions. Such an easy sipper that I found myself taking big swallows rather than "sipping." Very balanced and slightly tart. It showed tart apple flavor and a bit of lemon-lime squirt also. Very attractive.
