Dried herbs and raw almonds meet unripe pear on a supple, almost creamy palate that belies the modest 12.5% alcohol. Early harvest shows in the wine's restraint, finishing with that telltale Rheinhessen chalk dust and gentle persistence.

One of Rheinhessen's benchmark estates, Wittmann works the limestone and loess slopes around Westhofen to produce dry Rieslings of real precision and age-worthiness, with a strong lineup of Grosse Gewächse from some of the region's most compelling sites.
