The Leitz family have a history of winemaking in Rüdesheim dating all the way back to 1744. The current generation, Johannes Leitz took control in 1985 and has since taken the estate from strength to strength, growing it from 2.9 hectares to 40 hectares today. This growth has had a positive influence over all the ranges of the wines produced. Specifically, the Rüdesheim vineyard of Berg Schlossberg has continued its tradition of being amongst the top dry wines from Germany.
