Its understated label belies a wine of striking purity, freshness and mineral complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYouthful and reserved at first, it opens with delicate yellow and exotic fruit, subtle floral notes and a hint of flint, alongside Wittmann’s characteristic savoury spice. On the palate, it is slender and finely balanced, bringing citrus and a touch of sweetness together with lively acidity, gentle texture and a distinctly chalky, saline finish.\n\nIts brisk acidity and mineral structure give it the substance to develop with some bottle age, though it can also be enjoyed young for its freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine comes from limestone-influenced vineyards around Westhofen, a terroir that helps shape its taut, mineral character. It is labelled organic; details of the harvest and vinification for this vintage are not provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe well chilled, around 8–10°C, with grilled fish, shellfish, herb-roasted chicken or fresh goat’s cheese. Its citrus and saline notes also suit vegetable dishes with a little richness. A young bottle should be ready to enjoy without decanting; allow it a little time in the glass to open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeingut Wittmann is a family estate in Westhofen, in the heart of Rheinhessen, and is especially recognised for expressive Riesling shaped by the region’s limestone soils.
