The 2022 Riesling Niersteiner trocken is made from Orbel and ?lberg on the red, rhyolitic sandstone of the Red Slope. Philipp Wittmann only got 2,800 liters of juice from his 1.2 ha in the Red Slope he bought in 2014. The nose brims with citrus and herbal aromas, with a slight minty lift amidst the tangerine notes. Savoriness also defines the palate, appearing alongside a phenolic touch, very concentrated, beautifully expressive and somehow hotter and spikier than the more serene wines from limestone. (Bone-dry)
