There's no question that Riesling's star has shone brighter and brighter over the past decade. Once the province and darling of restaurant somms and the geekiest of wine geeks (and still is, to some extent), the varietal has garnered newfound attention and popularity among a broader audience thanks to more producers embracing the dry style.
One of the hotbeds of success in this style has been the Rheinhessen, where the famed red slate and quarz soils offer up dry Rieslings of incomparable intensity and ripeness, all while maintaining a scintillating acidic frame that endows them with incredible versatility and real cellar appeal. One of the Rheinhessen's benchmark estates, Weingut Wittmann boasts an enviable stable of top-tier sites from which they craft quintessential expressions that routinely lead the pack in terms of quality and critical acclaim. Their GGs are coveted collectible trophies, but it's the 2020 Estate Dry Riesling that has us shouting from the rooftop today. A 93-point specimen according to James Suckling's long-time Riesling critic Stuart Pigott, the 2020 is "concentrated, racy and filigreed with intense, chalky minerality at the long, polished and playful finish." In other words, it checks every box for avid Riesling fans while offering the perfect introduction for those looking to explore the category for the first time. |
