TASTING NOTES: The Leitz Eins-Zwei-Zero offers an original character that is clean and fresh with notes of lime and citrus, accompanied by little hints of red apples on an underlying mineral base. The finish is slightly off-dry and relatively long.

BRAND NAME: Leitz
Josef Leitz re-built the winery on the late during the Second World War. His son, Antonius Leitz had briefly taken ownership of the winery before his premature death in 1966. So, it wasn’t until 1985 when Johannes took over the winery that it once again became a primary focal point of attention. After taking hold of the family business, he has managed to raise the estate from 2.9 hectares to the 40 hectares that we see today. Over the years, Johannes has gained national and international recognition for his outstanding wines. Internationally, his major markets include Norway, Sweden, the UK and USA.
