White Burgundy Estate dry 2022 (0.75l)

Grown on calcareous soils around Westhofen, matured primarily in large, neutral oak barrels with only slightly smaller containers. As always with Wittmann, all hand-picked and spontaneously fermented. On the nose, yellow stone fruit, plenty of pear and some peach, with underlying hints of ripe citrus, grapefruit, and fresh orange. The overall impression is very clear, bright, and fresh. Elegant on the palate, with a clear presence but not an ounce of excess weight, a very fine, creamy texture, and fresh, yet wonderfully integrated acidity. Here, the citrus fruit slightly dominates the stone fruit, with light bitter notes from the phenolics. This is beautifully refreshing and fresh, of a high standard for an estate wine, and a superbly delicious and elegant introduction to Wittmann's Burgundy world!
