Kirchspiel Riesling Großes Gewächs 2024 Weingut Wittmann

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (94)

The 2024 Kirchspiel GG Westhofen Riesling is deep, pure, fresh and aromatic and indeed irresistible in its lemony salinity and sur lie nuances. Light, lush and elegant on the palate, this is a chalky, citric, slightly bitter and also a little drying Kirchspiel with lemon juice, white peach and yellow plum notes on the finely textured finish. Still a little dull on the finish, this is a very promising and refined Kirchspiel. 12% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2025.

James Suckling (96)

With every turn of the glass this expands and expands. Concentrated, with the excellent ripeness of the cool vintage. Very racy and chalky acidity makes this feel lighter than it really is on the medium-bodied palate. Try to be patient, because this is on a steep upward curve. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold.

Jancis Robinson (17.50)

Thrilling notes of clementine, star fruit and mango, underscored by chamomile and lemon balm. Its racy acidity wraps a taut fruit core in a white-hot saline crust. A graceful paradox: cool and warm, taut and expressive. A lime cordial without the cordial, the concentrated palate evolves with white currant and pink grapefruit. A chalky finish. A saline snap. Breathtaking. (PS)

Falstaff (94)

The aroma is very closed at the time of tasting. The palate has a comparatively vivid phenolic flavour, accurately integrated into the not too slender body, acidity and chalky minerality complete the picture of a stylish, high-potential wine.
