Wittmann Morstein Riesling Trocken 2022
HK$ 1,017.73
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
From the core parcels in the cru, the 2022 Morstein Westhofen Riesling GG is pure, intense and chalky on the elegant, dense and spicy, darker-toned nose that is still a bit untamed but deep and exciting, even with woodruff aromas! Enormously mineral and tannic on the palate, this is a full-bodied, rich and enormously complex, masculine and monolithic Riesling that needs a lot of time in the cellar to develop and refine. A highly promising Riesling! 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2023.

Description
Wittmann Morstein Riesling Trocken belongs to the GROSSES GEWÄCHS category, a designation that marks the highest quality vineyards in Rheinhessen, each precisely demarcated by plot. The wines grown on these sites are distinguished by their extraordinary sense of origin and their ability to age.
Winemaking
The purely south-facing location stretches along a high plateau, 280 metres above sea level, and is the oldest vineyard in Westhofen, first mentioned in 1282. The GROSSE LAGE MORSTEIN is located in the heart of the hillside, between 180 and 240 metres above sea level, with slopes of up to 20%. The soils are mainly heavy clay loam, with limestone deposits in the upper layers. The substrate is dominated by porous layers of limestone rock, ensuring an optimal supply of nutrients and minerals.
Taste
Morstein Riesling Trocken shows herbal notes of amber and gallium with ripe, juicy fruits such as lime, apricot and peach. The nose and front palate evoke a tight rosebud, but then the wine expands in an almost supernatural way as it flows over the palate, culminating in a totally focused finish with stunning minerality.
