Wittmann 2007 Westhofener Morstein Auslese 500 ml Riesling (Rheinhessen)
-
$58
Complex, intense nose of fresh honeysuckle, tangerines, marmalade, spice, dried apricots, golden raisins and an earthy minerality abound. Delightfully rich and sweet, but lively and fresh, with nicely balanced racy acidity. Generous concentration of flavor that coats the whole palate and lingers to a sweet but vibrantly juicy finish.

$38
Mid-gold color. Pronounced aromas of ripe yellow fruits, honey, with hints of warm earth, savory fresh root vegetables and spice. Sweet, richly textured, but refreshingly crisp. Vibrant flavors follow through on the palate showing strong mineral notes. Broad but firm palate and a long lingering lively finish.

Mid-gold in color, with attractive aromas of ripe stone fruits. Focused by earthy minerality, this is dry and crisp, with abundant fruit in the mouth: peach, apricot, orange peel and spice. Nicely balanced, with a long, minerally finish.
