Wittmann Morstein Großes Gewächs Riesling 2015
94-96/100 PP
"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."
(Stephan Reinhardt, robertparker.com)
"Der reine Südhang zieht sich bis auf ein Hochplateau auf 280 Meter über NN hoch und ist die älteste in Westhofen erwähnte Einzellage (1282). Im Mittelstück des Hanges, zwischen 180 - 240 Metern über NN, liegt die VDP.GROSSE LAGE MORSTEIN mit einer Hangneigung von 20 %."
