✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.
