Wittmann Riesling Trocken 2021
£16.30 (Inc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / Spain
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
From Westhofen's stonier soils and assembling 28 different vats, Wittmann's 2021 Riesling trocken Estate is the former Gutswein, but it's already a wine that is more than just a Riesling pleasure. The white-yellow colored wine offers a clear and spicy, pure and mineral nose with ripe, elegant fruit with herbal nuances. Mouthfilling, round and textured on the palate, this is a juicy yet pure, saline and finessed, very stimulating dry Riesling with delicate lemon bitters on the finish that reveals some ripe white-peach aromas on the aftertaste. This was vinified in large oak and stainless steel (70/30) and aged on the full lees for nearly six months. Tasted at the domaine in August 2022. 11.5% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure.

Description
Wittmann Riesling Trocken is an authentic representation of the Rheinhessen region, known for its elegance and unique sense of place. This wine serves as a calling card, introducing those who taste it to the essence and distinctive character of the wines of the Rheinhessen region. The grapes used to make the wine come exclusively from their own vineyards, cultivated biodynamically and cared for by hand. This meticulous attention to detail in the vineyard results in wines that are exceptionally harmonious with food, both in their youth and as they age.
Winemaking
The high quality of this wine is no accident. It starts in the vineyards with yield reduction, manual grape selection and a series of other measures such as biodynamics. In the winery, gentle pressing is followed by traditional vinification methods. The wines are fermented mainly in traditional large barrels.
Taste
Grown on the chalky soils of Westhofen, this wine shows its maximum expression. It is described as an uncompromising terroir wine with saline, herbal and elegant characteristics. Its yellow colour and energetic character define it as a pure and authentic Riesling. The taste is mouth-filling, round and textured, offering a juicy but pure dry Riesling, with delicate lemon bitterness on the finish revealing some ripe white peach aromas in the aftertaste.
