Description

The new ZERO-POINT-FIVE Pinot Noir offers a very appealing, vinous character; that is clean and fresh. Fruity notes of red currants and cherries are surrounded by a nicely embedded tannin structure and an almost dry finish. Of course, an alcohol-free wine will never have the same depth, structure and mouthfeel as a wine with alcohol, but the ZP5 comes extremely close and is simply a wine that tastes like … Impressive! This can pair well with with roasts or game; it’s a nice option with grilled fish or a lamb biryani. Enjoy the newest addition slightly chilled and in a large glass.

Under the direction of Johannes Leitz, Weingut Josef Leitz has earned the reputation of being one of Rheingaus top growers and moreover, one of the finest producers in Germany. Since taking over his family estate in 1985, Johannes has grown his holdings from 2.6 hectares to over 40, most of which are Grand Cru sites on the slopes of the Rdesheimer Berg. Once the home of some of the worlds most sought after and expensive wines, the region fell to mediocrity in the years following the Second World War. Josi has made it his lifes work to reclaim the intrinsic quality of his native terroir and introduce the world to the true potential of the Rheingau.

Lietz Out: The idea forLeitzOutwas to create a film noir movie poster looksomething fun in addition to being a play on words to help people pronounce his name correctly. The fruit comes from vineyards in the Upper Rheingau predominately comprised of loess and loam soils. It is pressed, fined and then fermented in 100% stainless steel. Like all rieslings, it undergoes two filtrations before bottling and is racked as minimally as possible to preserve aromatics. This is a super-delicious, entry-level feinherb style riesling (18 grams/liter) that has crisp acidity, juicy aromatics and is dangerously drinkable. A ridiculously great value!
