Wittmann - Aulerde Riesling Trocken Grosses Gewächs 2020

JAMES SUCKLING: "Stunning nose of pineapple and mirabelle that’s still so youthful. Concentrated and energetic with great mineral vitality and salty intensity. From vines planted in 1949 and 1951. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2023."

JANCIS ROBINSON: "Whereas others may be looking for more mineral or herbal interpretation, Philipp Wittmann never loses sight of fruit and the Aulerde focuses on citrus and stone fruit, nicely complemented by gentle smoky and chalky nuances. Quite full bodied and generous on the palate, grapefruit with pith piquancy, restrained acidity, getting a little tauter towards the finish with an earthy mineral element."

WINE SPECTATOR: " Compact and coiled, this herbaceous wine shows succulent apricot, white flowers, nectarine and green apple, with a beam of racy acidity and flinty minerals. Fresh mint and orange blossom highlights emerge on the lengthy, vibrant finish. Drink now through 2028. 650 cases made."
