Weingut Josef Leitz in Ruedesheim on the Rhine, in the Rheingau region, is
one of Germany's better wineries. Today in the hands of Johannes Leitz but
with origins back in the 18th century, the estate owns vines in several of
the best vineyards on the Ruedesheimer Berg, including Rottland and
Schlossberg. 

The estate grows only Riesling grapes and specializes in late-harvest white
wines, including some which are intensely sweet, although the property is
also following the German trend towards dry wines too.

The Leitz wines can sometimes be found at retail in the USA and the UK.

There is apparently no connection to the Leitz family of Wetzlar. Most of
the remaining Wetzlar Leitz descendents moved to Canada some years ago.
