WITTMANN WEINGUT – WITTMANN GROSSES GEWÄCHS MORSTEIN RIESLING 2015
Note de dégustation: un vin tout en dentelle et en délicatesse avec une fabuleuse minéralité due en grande partie au plateau de calcaire du vignoble de Morstein. C’est la délicatesse et la fraîcheur qui impriment leur marque à ce vin d’une pureté extraordinaire et on s’approche de la perfection avec une tension, une élégance, une harmonie que seul sans doute le cépage riesling peut produire sur les grands terroirs.

VIN : WITTMANN WESTHOFEN GROSSES GEWÄCHS RIESLING 2015 |
Wittmann’s iconic 2015 Riesling GG Morstein comes along as a limestone rock incarnation of Riesling with concentrated fruits and lemon perfume on the nose. Fermented in Doppelstück (2,400-liter oak vats), the 2015 is cool and herbal on the nose, very chalky, citrus-like and beautifully concentrated. It has ripe pineapples aromas and crushed rocks. This is extremely well focused, pure and precise. Fresh and salty on the palate, this full-bodied and highly elegant 2015 is intense and juicy, but also taught and very piquant in the finish. This wine is long, persistent, very complex and salty on the finish. There is really good tension and grip here and the chalk seems to crumble on the palate. A promising and powerful Morstein that will further improve in the bottle. This is a Must Have of the 2015 vintage. The acidity is almost Mosel-like in its delicacy. The finish has great grip and tension. This is great wine. « Morstein is so complex, because we have so many parcels here and can compose like how we want. But the central part gives great wines in every year. » Total production is 1,1000 liters. Robert Parker. The Wine Advocate. 94-96/100.
