Winery Wittmann Brunnenhäuschen GG Riesling 2017
The "Große Gewächs" from the Westhofener Brunnenhäuschen offers a great deal of tension, which is typical of the site, which is fully south-facing but high up. The late-ripening Riesling is rooted in clay marl, terra rossa and limestone rock. The wine opens with a subtle floral fragrance before exotic notes, stone fruit and lime take over. On the palate, the Riesling offers a juicy abundance of fruit, which is tinged with salinity, tart notes of zest and minerality. JAMES SUCKLING awarded it 97 points, JANCIS ROBINSON 18.5/20.
