Weingut Leitz Rudesheimer Klosterlay Riesling Kabinett, Rheingau, Germany 2023 Aged Tawny Forthright lemon-curdLay is a very old word meaning slate and "Kloster" is the German translation of Abbey. The Klosterlay sits beneath the Benedictine Abbey of St. Hildegard, above the eastern edge of the village. Here, the Rdesheimer Berg begins to gently undulate as it levels out toward the village of Geisenheim. Josi believes this site is destined for a fruity style and therefore always makes Kabinett from this vineyard.
