Niersteiner Riesling 2023 Weingut Wittmann

Professional reviews

James Suckling (94)

This dry riesling from the famous commune of Neirstein has a wonderful creaminess, but the most striking thing about it is the herbal and mineral intensity that drives it along. They also give a terrific elegance and excitement (a rare combination). Very long, focused and delicate finish. A cuvee of wines from the Oelberg and Orbel GG sites. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold.

Vinous (92)

The 2023 Riesling Niersteiner was picked in Ölberg and Orbel, on the Permian sandstone of the Red Slope. Tangerine teases right away on the nose, with just a touch of petrichor. The palate is super-slender, beautifully salty, mouthwatering and made in the streamlined Wittmann fashion. It tinkles beautifully with citrus peel spiciness and a stony, saline finish. (Bone-dry)
