Westhofener Riesling 2023 Weingut Wittmann

Professionele reviews

James Suckling (95)

This village wine is a masterpiece of elegance and originality. Deep and elegant on the extremely precise, medium-bodied palate. This has a joyful energy that’s impossible to resist (unless you don’t like dry white wine). Flows so gracefully over the palate, like a hero riding off into the sunset at the end of a great movie. A cuvee of about 75% Morstein and 25% Brunnenhauschen. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold.

Aus Ersten Lagen. Cask sample.
Low-key nose. Lots of lemony fruit and tension. Very long and refined. (JR)

Vinous (92)

The 2023 Riesling Westhofener trocken is made from the parcels surrounding the core part of the Morstein, with some Brunnenhäuschen. The nose is shy, needing air to reveal a touch of chervil. The palate is all lemon, with a slight yet vibrant smattering of white pepper. Coolness and a smooth, almost creamy texture underline the wine’s slenderness and chalky backdrop. (Bone-dry)
