Weingut Wittmann Riesling Aulerde Großes Gewächs Bio 2022 is a powerful, dry Riesling from one of Rheinhessen’s most coveted grand cru sites. Certified organic and crafted by one of Germany’s leading biodynamic estates, this wine captures the depth and precision that have made Wittmann a benchmark for modern German Riesling. With only limited bottles available, it’s a compelling choice for collectors and serious Riesling lovers alike.
On the palate, this is a concentrated, firmly structured dry Riesling with a compact core of fruit. Juicy stone fruit and citrus are wrapped in a pronounced saline minerality that is a hallmark of Aulerde, giving the wine a tactile, almost grippy tension. The acidity is racy but perfectly balanced by ripe fruit extract, leading into a long, precise finish with lingering notes of citrus zest, stone, and fine spice. While approachable in its youth with a brief aeration, the 2022 has clear aging potential: under good cellar conditions, it should evolve gracefully for 10–15 years, developing more complexity, smokiness, and subtle honeyed nuances over time.
