Wittmann
Trocken Riesling
Expressive nose of white flowers, ananas, and lemon. Sweet attack, felt a bit bubbly, high acid, delicious for the price.

Feb 11th, 2023Mid Lemon in colour. Aromas of White Citrus flowers and a note of Mandarin. Lime and lemon on the palate with the citric acid having settled down from its youth. Not particularly complex - just a refreshing German dry Riesling 12% ABV. Good QPR at about $35AUD. Tasted again 18 weeks later on 16th January 2021 with similar impressions. There was mandarin, citrus oil and honey. No complexity to speak of but fresh and well presented - from an excellent producer.

Feb 17th, 20162013 Wittmann Riesling QbA trocken Rheinhessen Germany grown biodynamically. Reflective of its cool vintage conditions, similar to 2004 & 2008. A sense of sweetness on the attack but then the acidity kicks in on the mid- and back palate, some CO2 prickle. Green apple, grapefruit and lime. Lovely texture, feels complete, tart finish. Nice wine at this level and considering 2013 being a difficult year!
