Leitz Rottland Question

[Ian Fitzsimmons]

After taking delivery of some Leitz today, I visited his website, which is interestingly-designed, I think. An inset promotional video (in German) gives stunning views of his vineyards sloping down towards the Rhine.

Question: I've seen label photos of Leitz's Berg Rottland alte Reben Trocken both with and without the word "Spatlese." Are both these labels for the same wine - one, say, simplified for attentionally-challenged American buyers?

Fwiw, Leitz's website doesn't distinguish QmP classifications for his Rottland wine.

modern viticultural practices are making the whole qmp thing less relevant.

Yes, it does. Compare the Rottland entry under both the EN (riesling spatlese) and DE (riesling alte reben) pages.

I missed that, Jeff, thanks.
