Tasting profile
Structure: light-bodied, high acidity, dry
The Mittelrhein is one of Germany's smallest and steepest wine regions, a narrow ribbon of terraced slate along the gorge between Bingen and Koblenz, and Leutesdorf sits at its northern end. Riesling grown on those slopes gives a wine of real tension: lime and green apple with white flowers and a pronounced wet-slate minerality, carried by acidity as sharp as anywhere in Germany. Trocken means fully dry, so there is no residual sugar to soften it and the acid stands exposed — austere when young, and needing a few years to unwind. That same acidity is what lets good examples run for decades, turning to honey, dried apricot and the petrol note mature Riesling develops, while the frame stays taut underneath.
