Wittmann - Kirchspiel Riesling 2024 750ml
"The classification VDP.GROSSE LAGE® denotes Rheinhessen’s highest-quality vineyards, each precisely demarcated by parcel. Wines grown VDP.GROSSE LAGE® sites are notable for their extraordinary sense of place and ageing potential.
The KIRCHSPIEL opens up toward the Rhine like an ancient amphitheater, ready to bask in the first morning rays of sunshine. The vineyards face from east to southeast, protected against the west winds and creating the outstanding microclimate for which the Kirchspiel is known. Our vines are primarily planted in the upper portion of the site, at inclines of up to 30%.
The soils are mainly clayey marl with limestone deposits, joined by limestone weathering clay that lend the KIRCHSPIEL its distinctive, spicy-elegant character." -Wittmann
"Concentrated, with the excellent ripeness of the cool vintage. Very racy and chalky acidity. Try to be patient, because this is on a steep upward curve." - Stuart Pigott / James Suckling (96 Points)
