Wittmann Riesling Westhofener trocken 2015

Tart green apple and citrus peel drive the nose, backed by striking limestone minerality from Morstein and Brunnenhäuschen sites. The palate shows impressive tension. Lean and focused with a steely backbone and lingering bitter edge. Still wound tight at this stage; cellar another year for the structure to integrate.
