AboutLeitz
Johannes Leitz took over his family’s Rüdesheim estate in 1985, following the years his mother had spent keeping the small operation going. Riesling is at its heart, with vineyards on the Rüdesheimer Berg including Berg Schlossberg, Berg Rottland, Berg Roseneck and Kaisersteinfels. In the cellar, Leitz moves the wines as little as possible.
The estate also makes the de-alcoholised EINS-ZWEI-ZERO and ZERO-POINT-FIVE wines, using vacuum distillation at about 29°C to remove alcohol. These include still and sparkling Riesling, rosé, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc.
Leitz Zero Point Five Sauvignon Blanc
German Non-Alcoholic Wine
Gooseberry and green citrus open with an aromatic, sharply defined freshness. Green bell pepper and fresh grass add a savoury herbal layer, while delicate minerality keeps the palate focused and clean. The dealcoholized style remains light and precise rather than thin, carrying the fruit and herbs through a crisp centre. It finishes refreshing and balanced, leaving citrus, gooseberry, grass and cool mineral detail.
Leitz Eins-Zwei-Zero Rosé
German Non-Alcoholic Wine
Rosehip and raspberry open with a fine-fruited, lively character. The palate is light and easy-flowing, with juicy fruit balanced by bright acidity that keeps the profile fresh. A gentle sprightly quality adds lift without turning the wine sparkling. Clean and approachable through the centre, it finishes on raspberry, rosehip and a refreshing line of acidity, with the fruit lingering softly.
Leitz Eins-Zwei-Zero Riesling
German Non-Alcoholic Wine
Fresh lime and citrus lead with bright clarity, followed by an unexpected touch of rhubarb and red apple. A clean mineral line gives the palate definition and keeps the fruit precise. The texture remains light and composed, with enough freshness to carry the flavours without feeling thin. It closes dry and long, leaving citrus, apple and a cool mineral impression.
Leitz Zero Point Five Pinot Noir Can
German Non-Alcoholic Wine
Bright red berries and cherry open with a lively, refreshing feel. The palate is light and smooth, shaped by soft tannins and a gentle thread of spice. Dealcoholization preserves a clear red-fruit profile while keeping the texture nimble and clean. A subtle savoury note adds definition through the centre, and the finish stays balanced and crisp, with cherry and mild spice lingering.
Leitz Eins Zwei Zero Zero Point Five Pinot Noir
German Non-Alcoholic Wine
Red currant and cherry lead with a clean, lightly savoury freshness. The palate is dry and composed, with gentle tannins giving shape to the bright fruit and a subtle spice note adding depth. Cask ageing brings quiet roundness while the dealcoholized style remains light on its feet. Balanced and easy-flowing, it closes on crisp red fruit, soft spice and a refreshing, neatly defined finish.
Leitz Eins-Zwei-Zero Sparkling Rosé
German Non-Alcoholic Wine
Pale strawberry and raspberry lead, joined by rosehip and a subtle touch of grapefruit. Fine bubbles sharpen the fruit and give the palate an energetic, refreshing shape. Bright acidity and lean mineral detail keep the off-dry profile balanced rather than heavy. Lively and precise through the centre, it finishes with red berries, citrus lift and a clean, gently sparkling persistence.
Leitz Eins-Zwei-Zero Sparkling Riesling
German Non-Alcoholic Wine
Crisp apple opens with a fresh, juicy feel, while fine bubbles bring lift and definition. Bright acidity is well integrated, keeping the palate lively without turning sharp. The fruit stays clear through the centre, supported by a light mineral edge and a clean, energetic texture. Long-lasting freshness shapes the finish, leaving apple, gentle Riesling spice and a precise sparkling impression.
