  Less von Winning, more Wittmann. On the nose: soft peach, lemon, lemon oil, grilled nuts. Fantastic acidity, amazing density, soft va. Lovely. See previous notes for more details.

  The wine is clear, with pale lemon color, and thick legs.
  
  On the nose, the wine is clean, with medium plus primary aroma intensity of ripe citrus, lemon, white fruits, melon, white peach, floral.
  
  On the palate, the wine feels off-dry (www.weingutwittmann.de saying Dry), with medium plus acidity, medium alcohol, medium body, medium primary flavor intensity of ripe white fruits, citrus, grapefruit, floral, honeysuckle.
  
  Finish is long, with vibrant and appealing acidity.
  
  The wine is of a very good quality, as it is showing excellent balance between expressive fruits characteristics, acidity and minerality.
  It is having great length, and showing complexity on both nose and palate.
  
  The wine was very generous, appealing and expressive at time of tasting, however I would expect from it to close again sometime in the future, thus it will be very interesting to try it again in about 8 yeas time.

  Tasting Ground official tasting, Wittmann, A tale of 2 vineyards (Oinoscent): This is very different as a style compared to the 2018 & 2020 vintages, more forward, quite riper too, sweet juicy notes, ripe tropical fruit
  The palate shows density, structure, high acidity, a touch leaner than 2018, lemon, citrus and grapefruit peel, long finish.
  Definitely the wine that I would love to drink now

  Pop and pour. Fascinating. Entirely unlike any rendition of Kirchspiel from this producer that I have ever tasted. On the nose: peach, ripe guava, and a strong coffee/toast note, vaguely reminiscent of von Winning's Pechstein. On the palate more as expected: lovely acidity, amazing density, light lemon cotton candy, followed by dense lemon oil and lime. Lovely contrast, and an elegant tangy finish. Yum!
