Wittmann Riesling Trocken 2012

Rheinhessen, GermanyThe family estate was established in 1663, and has been farming organically (in the modern times that is) since the 1980's. They achieved organic certification in 1990, and biodynamic certification in 2003. Looking for a very natural expression of site, they ferment each vineyard parcel on their 25ha estate separately (110 units total). Some 98 percent of the winery's 200,000 bottles/annually is trocken, or dry. Or in this case, searingly bone dry. Precise and focused minerality, stone, ripping acid, barely ripe white peaches and green apple - all dancing around the mouth with energy to spare.Tasted: 16 December 2014Tasted by: Prices:
