Other Reviews....
Wittmann's iconic 2020 Morstein GG is deep, intense and flinty on the stony and iodine nose. Round and dense on the palate, this is a juicy but also massive and powerful Morstein that is still tight and bitter on the finish, asking for all our patience. Tasted in Wiesbaden at the end of August 2021. Drink 2026 - 2040.

If you have enough patience, this will turn into one of the greatest dry rieslings of the vintage. A tight rose bud in the nose and on the front palate, but then the wine expands in an almost supernatural fashion as it flows over the palate. Staggering minerality at the totally focused finish. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.

A hedonistic interpretation of Morstein. As usual, Philipp Wittmann has used both the potential of the site with its clay marl and limestone soil as well as the potential of Riesling to create a wine with great personality. It juggles herbal notes of amber and woodruff with ripe, juicy lime, apricot and peach fruit. Boasting soft, refined acidity, it is both graceful and generous at the same time. Drinking Window 2021 - 2040.
