2002 Josef Leitz Rudesheimer Klosterlay Riesling Kabinett

[hotwine]

Josef Leitz may be getting his grapes from a state-owned property, Hessen Staatsweingut Rudesheim. The old Cistercian monastery (cloister or Kloster) there now houses Hesse's wine institute, a center for research and training in the Rheingau. I drove by it many times on the Rheinstrasse but never stopped for a tour.
