98 / 100"What a breathtakingly vibrant and delicate nose this great riesling GG has! A ray of light falls through a high window and falls on the floor at your feet. Super-focused and crystalline on the medium-bodied palate where the power is masterfully underplayed. This has an exotic side, but it is so restrained. Incredibly long, pure finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2024."

"The 2022 Brunnenhäuschen Westhofen Riesling GG opens with a beautifully pure, refined and elegant bouquet from red-colored clay soils covering limestone rocks. The nose is deep, pure and saline, dense and intense but elegant, with yeasty notes intertwined with ripe and concentrated but lush fruit aromas. Very complex and pure on the palate, this is a full-bodied, refined, precise and elegant, seamlessly textured and enormously saline-finishing Riesling from limestone soils with marl layers. It's a fascinating complex and highly refined Riesling. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2023."

Tasting Notes
Brunnenhäuschen: Clay marl with limestone and limestone rocks and portions of terra rossa with high iron content / 240 metres above sea level / South facing, exposed to winds from the west / Grosse Lage classification
After a brief hiatus it is exciting to have this powerhouse of a wine back featuring in the annual GG offer from Wittmann. The Brunnenhäuschen GG is the dark horse of the GG’s on offer and combines the power of Morstein, with the aromatic, spiciness of Kirchspiel.
