Details and technical informations about Winery Leeuwenberg's Flagship Red.
Discover the grape variety: Rousse
Light, fruity reds with a pale ruby robe, soft tannins, and an airy palate with moderate acidity, offering understated red-fruit aromas. A discreet, rustic southern profile. Nearly extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections, it testifies to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the southern French vineyard.

The wine region of Rheingau
Historic cradle of great German Riesling: age-worthy whites of rare precision, from taut dry (Trocken) to botrytised sweet (Auslese, Beerenauslese, TBA) with notes of peach, citrus, acacia honey, noble petrol and slatey minerality. Riesling king on ~80% of the vineyard. Also Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir, 8%), notably the fine, silky Assmannshausen. 3,100 ha on south-facing slopes overlooking the Rhine (Hesse).
The word of the wine: Decanter
1) Glass container with a narrow neck used to aerate or decant the wine. 2) Decanter wines: wines that are drunk young and that were once drawn directly from the barrel. For example, some Muscadets or Beaujolais.
