Wittmann 100 Hills Dry Riesling 2022 – quality on a budget.

I hold the opinion, unpopular I might add, that Germany could not make a dry Riesling to save their life- this has only 6.0 grams/liter. I grew up drinking bone dry Rieslings from Clare Valley in Barossa in South Australia- my reference point.  

This is a great example of what I consider to be, the modern dry Riesling style from Germany, and its delicious, over delivers, and is budget friendly. What more can you ask for? 

The grapes are sourced from organic vineyards in the hills of the Rheinhessen region- about 40% Estate owned and the balance from local certified organic growers.

This is fresh, clean, crisp, and totally enjoyable Riesling that can be enjoyed anytime with seafood, chicken, turkey, and pork dishes. Enough sweetness to go with spicy Thai, Szechuan, Moroccan, and Indian. 

The nose showcases aromas of floral notes, peach, honey with just a hint of orange peel.

The palate is smooth and inviting with crisp acidity and balance. Impressive layers of peach, honey, orange blossom, tangerine zest and just a hint of petrol.
