Johannes Leitz is a master of the Rheingau, and with this 2017 vintage release, he proves that his beloved \"Dragonstone\" vineyard isn't just for still wines—it produces world-class bubbles, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eGerman Sekt is currently having a massive renaissance, and this bottle shows exactly why. At nine years old, this wine has developed incredible complexity. The razor-sharp acidity of the 2017 vintage (a crucial trait for great sparkling wine) has kept it vibrant and electric, while the years in the bottle have added layers of toasted brioche, honeycomb, and savory spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe magic comes from the pure quartzite soil of the Drachenstein vineyard. It imparts a salty, smoky minerality that cuts right through the bubbles. This is not a simple, fruity prosecco-style wine; this is a serious, structured sparkling wine with the depth and autolytic character to stand toe-to-toe with vintage Champagne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weingut Josef Leitz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47057283383553,"sku":"3030219","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/8085\/9649\/files\/3030219_1.png?v=1768697830","url":"https:\/\/winekey.com\/products\/2017-weingut-josef-leitz-rudesheimer-drachenstein-riesling-dragonstone-germany-750ml","provider":"WineKey","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
