Weingut Leitz

Leitz family winemaking dates to 1744. Josef Leitz re-built the winery after a raid during WWII. Johannes was born in 1964 & took over the estate in 1985. Raising the estate from 2.9 hectares to 40 ha has gathered worldwide recognition. The Rüdesheim vineyards are amongst the top dry wines in Germany. All of Johannes' wines carry his signature, showing the variety of the terroir. Dragonstone and EINS-ZWEI-DRY labels have won the “IFC Design Award 2009”. Even with international success, Johannes has stayed true to his roots, working with the Ministry of Environment to restore the terraces.
