Wittmann Kirchspiel Grosses Gewächs Riesling 2022

Kirchspiel: Clay marl with limestone deposits / east-southeast facing / open amphitheatre-esque site that catches the first of the early morning sun / vines planted towards top of the site / Grosse Lage classification

The Kirchspiel grand cru site opens toward the Rhine like an amphitheatre. Its southern and southeastern exposure protects the vines from cold westerly winds – and accounts for the excellent microclimate of the vineyard. The soil structure is similar to that of the Morstein site, marked by clayish marl interspersed with limestone. Limestone is the predominant component of the subsoil, too.
