✨ Technical Specifications
The '100 Hügel' (100 Hills) range is a tribute to the rolling, wave-like landscape of Rheinhessen, a region historically nicknamed the 'land of a thousand hills.' Crafted by the pioneering Wittmann estate, this Grauer Burgunder (Pinot Gris) is sourced from organically certified vineyards where the soils are rich in limestone and loess. Fermented cool to preserve its bright, primary fruit aromas and aged on its fine lees, this wine represents an approachable yet highly elegant expression of German Pinot Gris. It beautifully balances the estate's hallmark mineral precision with the naturally round, textured, and nutty character of the grape variety.
🍾 About the Producer
With viticultural heritage in Westhofen dating back to 1663, Weingut Wittmann is one of Germany's most influential pioneers of organic and biodynamic viticulture in the Wonnegau sub-region of Rheinhessen. Under the visionary leadership of Philipp Wittmann, alongside his family, the estate transitioned to organic farming in 1990 and achieved full biodynamic certification in 2004. Wittmann's philosophy centers on intense vineyard care, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, and aging in traditional neutral oak casks to express the profound limestone-rich terroir of legendary VDP.Grosse Lage sites such as Morstein, Kirchspiel, Aulerde, and Brunnenhäuschen. Renowned globally for benchmark Grosses Gewächs dry Rieslings characterized by crystalline precision, tension, and chalky minerality, the estate also crafts exceptional noble sweet botrytis wines and refined Pinot Noir.
