First Press Reviews to our Grand Cru's of vintage 2021

Pressebewertungen Weingut Wittmann1

We are very happy about the great press reviews to our Grand Cru wines vintage 2021, which will be officially released in March.

In the following a short excerpt of the Robert Parker Wine Advocat ratings to our Grand Cru's:

96+ POINTS – 2021 MORSTEIN RIESLING GG:

“The 2021 Morstein Riesling GG offers a deep and intense yet pure, nuanced, fresh and highly complex bouquet of crushed limestone, even chalk intertwined with bright, lemon fruit aromas. This bouquet is nothing less than spectacular in all its purity, subtle intensity and depth. The palate is silky, pure and saline, beautifully fine and fresh, very elegant and long yet still discreet and reduced in its expression. However, this is a chalky and lemony Mortsein from a cool year that will gain texture and complexity with bottle age. This will turn out to be a classic, and I can only recommend to buy more than you might think to buy based on the conservative score.”

95 POINTS – 2021 BRUNNENHÄUSCHEN RIESLING GG:

“(…) offers a clear, intense and warm, tender and very elegant as well as balanced bouquet of ripe fruits, crushed limestone and iron. Silky and very elegant on the palate, this is a full-bodied yet pure, saline and stimulating Riesling from red clay-limestone. In terms of texture, this is a finely tannic (…). It is a kind of bridge from Westhofen to Wittmann's Niersteiner, and its balanced, silky character is closer to the Niersteiner (…).”

93+ POINTS – 2021 KIRCHSPIEL RIESLING GG:

“(…) offers a nose to fall in love with: pure, intense, highly elegant and refined, like a Chablis based on perfectly ripe and pure Riesling fruits. It is incredibly chalky yet also lush and tropical in its fruit and intertwined with yeasty notes. Full-bodied, round and elegant on the palate, this is a lush and salty-savory, very stimulating yet quietly textured Kirchspiel whose acidity is really delicate and elegant and just holding the texture instead of cutting through it. […] It is a very elegant and balanced wine that is based on five plots, of which one vat underwent malolactic during the alcoholic fermentation.”

93+ POINTS – 2021 AULERDE RIESLING GG:

“(…) offers a deep, spicy, refined and very elegant bouquet with ripe fruit and finely flinty as well as phenolic nuances. Lush and savory on the palate, this is a very elegant and harmonious Aulerde with fine acidity and stimulating salinity and lots of refreshing grip on the pure and crisp finish.”
