Wittmann Riesling Westhofener Kirschspiel Grosses Gewächs 2018
White
Rheinhessen, Germany

WineSaint
Lime blossom, wet stone, and a thread of white peach on the nose, precise and inviting. On the palate, there's serious concentration here, yet the wine carries it with an almost weightless grace, the acidity taut and driving rather than showy. That deep Westhofener limestone signature asserts itself through the finish, building rather than fading. Impressive GG from a stellar vintage.
