Ripe pear and green apple with a whisper of citrus zest. Light, dry, with the clean precision Johannes Leitz is known for. A Chardonnay that doesn't lean heavily into oak.
Region: Rheingau, Germany
Grapes: Chardonnay
Sweetness: 2 – Dry
Body: Light to Medium
Key ingredients: Dealcoholized Chardonnay wine (Rheingau, Germany), grape must, natural flavors. Contains sulfites.
Good to know: <0.5% ABV. Made by Weingut Leitz in Germany's Rheingau region under the direction of Johannes Leitz — one of Germany's finest producers. Wines are fermented full-strength from Rheingau grapes, then dealcoholized. Contains sulfites.
How to enjoy: Serve chilled (45-50°F) in a white wine glass. Pairs with roast chicken, white fish, butter-forward dishes, and soft cheeses.
Swizzle's Take: Leitz's Chardonnay is our pick when a California Chardonnay would feel too heavy — cleaner fruit, less oak, honest structure.
