The 2023 Riesling Niersteiner was picked in Ölberg and Orbel, on the Permian sandstone of the Red Slope. Tangerine teases right away on the nose, with just a touch of petrichor. The palate is super-slender, beautifully salty, mouthwatering and made in the streamlined Wittmann fashion. It tinkles beautifully with citrus peel spiciness and a stony, saline finish.

A vibrant and expressive wine, showing a distinct flinty edge paired with aromatic spice. Candied citrus notes add a touch of sweetness, while the wine's acidity provides great tension and balance. It finishes long, with layers of complexity that linger on the palate, offering both freshness and depth. (AZ)
