Wittmann Riesling Westhofener Kirschspiel Grosses Gewächs 2015

Piercing limestone minerality dominates, with white stone fruit and tart citrus rind providing the fruit backdrop. The palate shows serious concentration and grip. Almost severe in its intensity right now. That trademark Kirschspiel chalk runs through the long, austere finish. Needs 3-5 years to develop proper harmony.
