The 2015 Wittmann Westhofener Morstein Riesling Grosses Gewachs comes from a "great vintage" and is lauded as 【a benchmark Riesling for 2015 and a serious rival to other top wines of the vintage】. It's considered one of the finest dry Rieslings of this excellent year. The wine is fermented in large oak vats (Doppelstück). Tasting notes describe a clear, elegant, and concentrated wine with a salty, iodine-tinged nose and ripe lemon flesh. On the palate, it's rich, intense, round, and slightly sweetish with fine tannins. Expect aromas of ripe pineapples and crushed rocks, leading to a fresh, salty, full-bodied, and elegant profile with a piquant finish. Reviewers also note white peach, bright lime, tart crab apple, chalky underpinnings, and a hint of salinity, contributing to an austere yet impressively persistent character. Further complexity comes from notes of thyme, gentian, lime, green tomato, cooling herbal nuances, and lasting impressions of chalk and stone. This wine displays remarkable buoyancy despite its alcohol content. 🍴 Food pairing suggestions: This versatile Riesling pairs beautifully with Asian cuisine, fatty fish, various fish dishes, spicy food, light meats, pâté, rich dishes, salmon, and mature cheeses. Its acidity and complexity also make it a fantastic match for roast pork or duck. 🥂 Event suggestions: An excellent choice for a sophisticated dinner, a wine tasting focused on German Rieslings, or a celebratory meal where its elegance and depth can shine.
