2016 Wittmann Westhofener Riesling Trocken 0,75 Liter

Weingut Wittmann Westhofener Riesling Trocken 2016, from Germany’s Rheinhessen, is a 100% Riesling from the Westhofener vineyard’s limestone soils. The nose reveals a vibrant bouquet of green apple, lemon curd, and white peach, interwoven with wet stone and flinty minerality. The palate is medium-bodied, bone-dry with vibrant acidity, delivering flavors of citrus, stone fruit, and a hint of spice, with a refined, lingering finish. Fermented spontaneously and aged in neutral oak, it reflects Wittmann’s biodynamic approach. The 2016 vintage, praised for its intensity, produced a wine of remarkable complexity, ideal for pairing with seafood, light salads, or creamy cheeses. Its concentrated fruit and mineral structure make it a collector’s gem, showcasing Westhofener’s unique terroir. With excellent aging potential, this Riesling Trocken offers enthusiasts a sophisticated expression of Rheinhessen’s winemaking heritage.
