2023 Wittmann Estate Riesling

They say that you never get a second chance to make a first impression. Our estate wines serve as that calling card, introducing the elegance and sense of place for which our Rheinhessen estate is known. The grapes are all grown in our own vineyards, cultivated bio-dynamically and tended by hand. They are exceptionally food friendly wines both in their youth and as they mature.

Hand selection of the fruit and a variety of other biodynamic-friendly measures throughout the year. In the cellar, gentle pressing is followed by traditional vinification methods. The wines are primarily fermented in traditional large barrels. Our estate Riesling is a full-time ambassador of its Rheinhessen roots. Grown on the limestone soils of Westhofen, it is an “true” Wittmann. Uncompromising terroir wine – saline – herbal – sleek – yellow, dancing Riesling character. – Philipp Wittmann

The 2023 Estate Riesling trocken opens with a remarkable aromatic yet fine and elegant bouquet with tangerine, chalk and sur lie aromas and a discreet salinity in the background. Fresh and very elegant on the palate, this is a medium-bodied, stimulating savory yet also round and finessed Riesling with great purity and excellent quality. This is one of the Best Buys of the vintage when it comes to dry, terroir-driven Rieslings. 12% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. 91+ points.
