Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 95

"The 2020 Morstein Riesling GG is deep, pure and calcareous on the virtually chalky nose that reveals ripe and elegant yet still reduced fruit. Firm and saline on the palate, this is an elegant, fresh, stimulating and bitter Morstein with fine tannins and a long, intense and promising finish. Still discreet but fleshy, this will turn out to be a classic from a warm vintage, though the character of this 2020 is rather coolish. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2022."

Jancis Robinson

JR 18.5

"The Morstein already impresses visually with a bright greenish robe. The nose is tempted with exotic fruit from citrus to pineapple, complemented by delicate spicy and earthy nuances. Very rich and seductive on the palate in its presentation of peach, pineapple and caramelised orange. Acidity lies very low, which emphasises the opulent character of the taste but interest is raised by spicy and mineral nuances. A hint of clove seems to point at tastefully applied wood-ageing."

Decanter

D 97

"A hedonistic interpretation of Morstein. As usual, Philipp Wittmann has used both the potential of the site with its clay marl and limestone soil as well as the potential of Riesling to create a wine with great personality. It juggles herbal notes of amber and woodruff with ripe, juicy lime, apricot and peach fruit. Boasting soft, refined acidity, it is both graceful and generous at the same time."

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
