Wittmann Riesling Niersteiner trocken 2016

Peach, apricot and wet stone on the nose, with orange blossom surfacing after a few minutes in the glass. There's a fine interplay between weight and precision here, the wine is generous without ever feeling loose, its mineral core keeping the fruit honest. Creamy texture, bright acidity, and a clean, focused finish that speaks clearly to Nierstein's character. A step up from 2015.
