Burgweg Trockenbeerenauslese

2006 Rheingau Riesling

Leitz Burgweg Trockenbeerenauslese, a remarkable 2006 Riesling from the esteemed Rheingau region, showcases a pristine, pale golden hue that glimmers in the glass. This exquisite white wine is full-bodied, enveloping the palate with its lush and opulent texture. It exhibits high acidity that lends a refreshing brightness, balancing the rich sweetness beautifully. The pronounced fruit intensity brings forth vibrant notes of ripe apricot, honeyed peach, and candied citrus, all harmoniously integrated. With a pronounced dryness that is characteristic of the Trockenbeerenauslese style, this wine is an exceptional showcase of the painstaking winemaking process from handpicked grapes affected by noble rot. A true gem from Rheingau, it is a captivating testament to the artistry of German Riesling.

Rheingau

Germany's most famous wine region, the small but mighty Rheingau has built its stellar reputation on its delightfully dry Riesling. Thanks to the south-facing aspect of the Rhine Valley's slopes here—plus the shelter provided by the Taunus hills—the Rheingau's vineyards enjoy a unique mesoclimate that helps grapes ripen perfectly. As a result, these medium- to full-bodied white wines often display satisfying flavors of ripe peach. Fans of red wine should also look out for its Pinot Noir (known locally as Spätburgunder), which usually comes from vineyards near the village of Assmannhausen.
