At this early stage, the wine has orange sherbet and lime aromas, with more generous ripe peach and mango purée flavours evident on the palate. It is intense and concentrated, with amazing persistence on the palate, and hints of the savoury complexity that will develop with maturity. A fabulous wine, but best to wait a couple of years and then enjoy at your leisure over the following 15-20. With a terrifying slope angle of up to 62°, Berg Roseneck is Leitz's steepest Grand Cru, and one of the steepest vineyards in the world. Facing almost due south, and sheltered from north winds by the Taunus Mountains, this site has been recognised as outstanding for wine production more than 800 years.

Press Review
" Super crystalline and sleek dry wine that’s so light on its feet, in spite of the serious concentration. Quite some tannin at the driving, stony finish. Very precise and cool at the end with intense herbal notes. Drink or hold. "
Press Review
" From the Katerloch, the 2019 Rüdesheimer Berg Roseneck Riesling trocken GG opens with a pure yet intense and complex bouquet of ripe, elegant fruits intertwined with the typical spicy-mineral notes of quartz and quartzite soils in the steep slope of the Rüdesheimer Berg. Crystalline, precise and fresh on the palate, this is an elegant, round, lush and textured Berg Roseneck with fine bitters from the extended sur lie aging. The acidity is crystalline and saline and leads to a long and precise finish that rejuvenates and reduces this promising Riesling that might take some years to intermingle the textural and structural compounds. Drink 2026-2045 "
