✨ Technical Specifications
Weingut Wittmann's '100 Hügel' (100 Hills) Riesling Trocken is an inviting tribute to the rolling, wave-like landscape of Rheinhessen, historically nicknamed the 'land of a thousand hills.' Crafted from organically grown grapes, this dry Riesling serves as an elegant, accessible introduction to the estate's signature style. The Wittmann family, whose viticultural heritage in Westhofen dates back to 1663, employs eco-friendly practices to coax vibrant fruit and mineral complexity from the region's limestone-rich soils. Fermented in a combination of stainless steel and traditional large oak casks, the wine beautifully balances the natural, zesty acidity of the Riesling grape with a charming, fruit-forward character that reflects the warmth and energy of its hilly origins.

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.
