Wittmann Riesling Westhofener Morstein Grosses Gewächs 2022

White
Rheinhessen, Germany

WineSaint

Crushed chalk, wet stone and a thread of lemon zest open this austere Morstein GG, with dried herbs lurking quietly in the background. Taut and tightly-knit on the palate, the wine's chalky backbone dominates at this stage, precise, driven, and firmly closed. Patience is non-negotiable here. Drink 2030–2035.
