Weingut Wittmann is a longstanding member of the VDP – an association of quality-minded producers in Germany who impose upon themselves more rigorous rules than are imposed under German wine law, in pursuit of excellence, authenticity, & a purity of terroir expression.

This is the “GG” 2021 Wittmann Morstein Riesling, made with fruit from a Große Lage-designated vineyard site (i.e., Morestein) pursuant to the VDP classification system, which means it’s a top quality site, akin to a “grand cru” vineyard in Burgundy, capable of producing fruit for age-worthy wines of distinction.

We’re drinking it in a youthful (and still delicious!) state now – stored in the right conditions, it could age for a decade+…

In appearance, this wine has a medium lemon hue with medium (+) intensity of precise and lifted aromas and flavors including white peach, apricot, mango, kumquat, green apple, lemon peel, lime zest, blossom, honeysuckle, wet slate, flint, oystershell, saline, and petrol notes.

The palate is bone dry with medium alcohol (12.5% ABV), a medium body, and racy acidity.

It’s elegant, angular, & nuanced.

We’re pairing it with grilled, spice-rubbed pork tenderloin and roasted brussels sprouts. — 2 days ago

Absolutely stellar. Among the top ten German Rieslings easily! Huge, enormous depth. Stone fruit meyer lemon. Yet still elegant. This is insanely good right now. Drink it and then try every 3 years or so. What a wine! — 3 months ago

This was the last, yet the freshest and less evolved bottle of my 4-pack, lightest in colour, easily the best.
Considerable bottle variation..! — 4 months ago

Lovely aromatic noses. Intense yellow flowers.

Palate : mineral. Some citrus. A bit closed on open. Green apple. As this opens the density comes out. Elegant hints of honey. — 6 days ago

Delightful. Immediate lime zest smack in the face.

Natural sweetness that comes though it’s not oaky or residual sugar. Just a roundness to the wine that helps balance the lime.

This wine is good with Mexican and some spice. — 2 months ago

Pineapple, orchard apple, and lime. Less acidic than I would’ve imagined. Faint yeasty/bready character. From 375. Treat from a regular. — 4 months ago

Very light colored

Light bodied and has a sweetness to it that makes you wonder if this is really a dry wine.

It develops more complexity and some lime zest flavor with more airtime

Overall good but not great. — 3 months ago

Neus: Aroma’s van rijpe perzik, abrikoos, en een vleugje citrus, met subtiele tonen van honing en natte steen.

Smaak: Vol en weelderig, met sappige fruittonen en een aangename zuurgraad die de wijn levendig maakt. De mineraliteit geeft diepte en complexiteit.

Afdronk: Lang, met een harmonieuze combinatie van fruit en terroir.
