The Leitz Magic Mountain Riesling 2021 is an expressive and vibrant white wine from the Rheingau region in Germany, produced by the esteemed Weingut Leitz. Known for crafting some of the finest Rieslings in the world, Leitz’s Magic Mountain is sourced from steep, terraced vineyards that showcase the unique terroir of the Rheingau. The 2021 vintage, marked by a cooler growing season, produces a wine with racy acidity, intense minerality, and a beautiful balance of fruit and freshness.

Appearance: Pale straw with bright, greenish highlights, indicating youth and freshness.

Aroma: The nose is vibrant and aromatic, with lively notes of green apple, lime, and white peach, interwoven with hints of white flowers and a pronounced minerality. Subtle nuances of wet stone and a slight petrol note, typical of high-quality Riesling, add complexity to the fresh fruit profile.

Taste: On the palate, this Riesling is crisp and medium-bodied, offering flavours of citrus fruits like lime and grapefruit, along with green apple and a touch of ripe peach. The wine’s minerality is pronounced, giving it a structured, almost steely edge. The bright acidity provides tension and balance, while a hint of honeyed sweetness rounds out the palate, adding depth and richness without overpowering the refreshing character.

Finish: The finish is long and clean, with lingering notes of citrus, stone fruit, and a saline minerality, leaving a zesty and refreshing aftertaste that highlights the wine’s purity and potential for aging.

Food pairing: This Riesling pairs wonderfully with fresh seafood such as oysters, grilled prawns, or ceviche, where its acidity enhances the briny qualities of the food. It also complements spicy dishes like Thai or Indian cuisine, as the wine’s crispness balances the heat. Soft cheeses, especially goat cheese, and light salads with citrus dressing also make excellent companions for this vibrant, mineral-driven wine.
