Wittmann's Westhofen 2023 Aulerde Riesling GG continues the top performances of the last five years. It has a deep, concentrated, fresh and citrusy nose with substantial saltiness and still some reduction, reminiscent of clay, lime and lime chutney, and a dense and tightly woven palate. This is a fleshy, juicy and concentrated, very youthful but elegant and balanced Aulerde with great potential and long-lasting minerality and savoriness, but it's also generous and elegant in its fruit expression. Tasted at the Vorpremiere VDP.Grosses Gewächs in Wiesbaden in August 2024.
Light and lemony – all about the fruit here and not about the winemaking. Fragrant without being floral. Almost delicate in its citrus and peachy purity. But the acid spine leads to a long finish. Deliciously dry, stony finish, almost salty. Not dramatic but with great intensity.
