Wittmann Aulerde Riesling (Dry) Trocken GG 2019
“The 2019 vintage is the best vintage I have ever tasted for German riesling in my four-decade career. Like James, my career as a wine critic began in the early 1980s. The first German vintage I tasted as young wines was 1983 and I can’t remember a vintage like that – until now. The 2019 wines, from dry to classic style with natural grape sweetness are simply astonishing quality, which means 2019 is one of the greatest vintages of modern times and will be remembered for decades, possibly generations.”
Wittmann, of course, is one of the great producers of Riesling in the entire world. So when one of the great vintages collides with one of the great producers, you know you have our attention. Wittmann's Aulerde GG is superb from start to finish, there is just so much to love here! We love the incisive minerality and citrusy acids that super long, layered finish. Gorgeous!
