Wittmann Westhofener Riesling 2021

Wittmann Westhofener Riesling is a refined dry Riesling from Rheinhessen, offering ripe yellow fruit, peach, apricot, grapefruit, citrus, and distinctive limestone minerality. The palate is elegant and energetic, with lively acidity, fine texture, saline character, and a long, refreshing finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with roast pork, pan-seared sea scallops, yellowtail sashimi, thai green curry, and aged semi-hard cheeses.

95 Points - James Suckling

Serious concentration of impeccably ripe peachy fruit, plus great finesse make this a standout in this category. Rolls over the palate with great mineral drive, yet remains impeccably balanced. A starburst of chalky minerality at the very long finish. Mostly from the Morstein GG site with a small amount of wine from the Brunnenhauschen GG site. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Vegan. Drink or hold.

94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Composed of Morstein satellites and younger vines (six plots), as well as Brunnenhäuschen and Aulerde (one plot each), the 2021 Westhofener Riesling "1G" offers a dense and intense, saline and flinty bouquet of ripe Riesling fruit with notes of crushed rocks and Amalfi lemons. Silky, lush and savory on the palate, with lingering lemon juice notes, this is a compact and tensioned, very elegant, pure and saline Riesling that can easily compete with so many Grosses Gewächs Rieslings in Germany this year. It is a stunning wine with salinity, lovely grip and tension, but it's already accessible. A Must Have.
