✨ Technical Specifications
Wittmann's estate Riesling Trocken serves as the quintessential introduction to the estate's biodynamic philosophy and the limestone-rich terroirs of Westhofen in the Rheinhessen. Sourced from estate-controlled vineyards, this dry Riesling is crafted with the same meticulous care as their legendary Grosses Gewächs sites. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in traditional large oak casks within their historic vaulted cellar, it captures the vibrant, mineral-driven essence of the region. The limestone soils impart a signature salty minerality and crisp acidity, balanced by bright citrus and stone fruit notes, reflecting a winemaking heritage that has flourished in the region for centuries.
🍾 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.
