Wittmann - Aulerde Riesling 2022 750ml
"VDP.GROSSE LAGE denotes Rheinhessen’s highest-quality vineyards, each precisely demarcated by parcel. Wines grown in Grosse Lage sites are notable for their extraordinary sense of place and cellarability.
Given that the first written record of this vineyard dates back to , it appears that our predecessors long ago recognized just how sublime this south-facing hillside truly is. Sloping gently towards the village, it is our warmest site and promotes early ripening of the grapes.
Our Riesling vines grow in the heart of AULERDE, where heavy clayey marl soil is laced with loess loam and limestone and the subsoil is leavened with yellow and sandy clay loam with gravel. The vines in this site are nearly years old and planted in high density." - Wittmann
