WITTMANN WEINGUT – WITTMANN GROSSES GEWÄCHS MORSTEIN RIESLING 2016
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 MORSTEIN GROSSES GEWÄCHS RIESLING 2016 |
The 2016 Morstein Riesling GG is super clear, fresh and intense but also pure, fine and chalky on the nose, indicating remarkable finesse and complexity. The attack on the palate is really fresh if not piquant, the wine pure, fresh and mineral, with almost no flesh but lots of salt and minerals as well as fine, juicy tannins. Still terribly young but precise and well-defined, this is an endlessly salty and stimulating Morstein for a long-distance run. Gorgeous and very promising in its finesse, elegance and purity. A classic from late-ripening grapes. Great, great finesse here and a very long, pure finish. There is 33% less Morstein than in a normal year due to strict selections in the vineyard and also in the cellar, where only the vats with the most persistent wines were chosen to become GG. Robert Parker. The Wine Advocate. 94/100.
